Is there somewhere a step by step guide to specifically set up Zoho Mail with Dynadot?
Who did this succesfully before?
The steps are not clear.

  1. Log in to your account where your domain's DNS is hosted.(Your DNS Host)
 
  2. Open your Domain Management Page to update the DNS Records (DNS Manager).
   
  3. Locate the option to add CNAME records (Generally found under DNS Records)
   
  4. In the Name/ Host/ Alias/ CNAME add the code generated in Zoho, zb******
   
  5. In the Value/ Points To/ Destination field addzmverify.zoho.com
       
  6. If the TTL is editable, reduce the TTL to 300 seconds or the minimum possible value recommended by your Registrar.
   
  7. Click Save or Add Record option to save the CNAME Records.


The steps 4 & 5 are really not clear. I do not not know where to insert the values.
Please can somebody tell me exactly where in DNS Tab I have to insert both of these?

On the "Email Settings" page, select the "MX records" setting from the top drop-down menu. Enter the MX value in the "Mail Host" field and the priority in the "Priority" field. Priority 0 is the highest priority. Click on the "Save Email Settings" button to save your changes.

Adding the MX record this way would keep your domain set to the website builder and allow you to use email with MX records. If you have any questions, please email [email protected].
