To properly send and receive emails, you need to make sure that the correct MX (Email Exchange) records are present in your domain's DNS zone.
To check it, access the DNS management zone of your domain💡
NOTES
If your domain is pointed elsewhere (than to Hostinger) by nameservers, DNS records should also be set up from the platform your domain is pointed to
After making any changes to your domain's DNS zone, DNS propagation starts; give it some time to complete, and your email service will be up and running smoothly 💡
Hostinger Email
If you use Hostinger Email, add the following MX records to your domain's DNS zone:
Priority | Host | Value (Mail server) | TTL |
5 | @ | mx1.hostinger.com | 14400 |
10 | @ | mx2.hostinger.com | 14400 |
If your domain is pointed to Hostinger by nameservers, you can add all the necessary DNS records automatically with a couple of clicks:
Navigate to the Emails section
Click on Manage next to the preferred email account
Open the DNS settings section on the left
In the Email delivery section, click on Set all to default:
