    update MX information to use Go Daddy for email

    Hi I am a complete noob to this stuff. I just built a website and my client had a top level domain name from go daddy. I used the x10 name servers to point the domain to my free hosting account but didn't realize the emails were affected. Which settings do I need to update to use the MX information provided by go daddy to let my client continue email service through go daddy? MX information was

    MX:

    priority 0 is smtp.secureserver.net
    priority 10 is mailstore1.secureserver.net

    CNAME:

    The CNAME for mail should be pop.secureserver.net

    Sign in to cPanel
    Front page
    Second section of Icons
    On my set up, the last Icon, MX Entry ... click it
    Choose the domain you are working on, then down to any current records pointing to x10hosting, delete them
    Now go to Add New Record and add the records you want.

    Then, back to Home,
    Sixth section, Domains, click on Advanced DNS Zone Editor
    Select domain
    Scroll down to the Zone File Records section
    Find CNAME entry for mail.yourdomainname.com , click edit
    Edit the CNAME field to pop.secureserver.net

    Click save.
    Nothing is always absolutely so.

    thanks so much. i did this, but when I send a test email to the client it is bouncing back. Will it take time to register these changes?
