Free Business Email for Your Wix Domain

Wix connects a domain in one of two ways, and that decides where you add the email records:

Not sure which you have? In Wix, open Domains and look at the domain's connection type. With pointing, Wix says you cannot manage DNS records from your Wix account, and the MX options are not offered. If you only just bought the domain, I bought a domain, how do I get email on it? walks through the first hour.

Set up the mail side first, so mailboxes exist before the first message arrives and you have the exact values to copy.

A domain delivers incoming mail to one provider only. Wix says plainly that you cannot connect email accounts from more than one email provider to the same domain. Look for these before you change anything:

• Google Workspace bought through Wix. When you buy Google Workspace from Wix for a Wix-managed domain, Wix adds Google's MX records automatically. If you are leaving Google Workspace, move any mail you want to keep first, then cancel the subscription in Wix under Premium Subscriptions (Wix says the plan runs to the end of the billing period). Replacing the MX records alone does not stop the billing.
• MX records imported from your old host. When a domain is connected to Wix by name servers, Wix imports the domain's existing MX records. If those still point at an old mail service you no longer use, they will be replaced in Step 3.
• Your Wix sign-in address. If you sign in to Wix with an address at this domain, add a second recovery route first (another email or phone), so a password reset still reaches you while mail moves.

Moving from a forwarding address to a real mailbox? This checklist covers what to recreate.

Wix has a dropdown of listed email providers. Mailbux is added with the Other option, which takes about two minutes.

SPF tells receiving servers that Mailbux may send mail for your domain. Wix's help page advises adding SPF in the TXT section. A domain should have one SPF record only, so check the TXT section first: if a line starting with v=spf1 is already there (for example from a newsletter tool), edit it and add include:msg25.com before the ending, instead of adding a second line. How to merge SPF records shows the result.

DKIM is optional and improves deliverability. In Mailbux open Domains, then Open DNS setup, copy the DKIM TXT record and add it in Wix's TXT (Text) section using the Host Name Mailbux shows. If the record does not resolve after a few hours, check that the domain was not typed twice in the Host Name field.

DMARC is optional too. Add it as a TXT record with Host Name _dmarc; start with a monitoring policy and read the reports before tightening it. Reading DMARC reports in plain English explains what you will receive.

• Up to 48 hours. Wix says DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to spread. Most show sooner; wait before redoing anything.
• No MX menu on a new domain. Wix does not show the MX options while a newly connected domain is still propagating. Come back later rather than changing the connection method.
• Typing @ in Host Name. Wix wants the Host Name left blank for the root domain. Typing @ is a common reason a record does not resolve.
• The www host name. Wix reserves www for connecting the Wix site, so never add mail records on www.
• Email on a subdomain. Wix says you cannot connect business email to a subdomain from Wix. Use the main domain, which is what this guide does.
• Website records. Leave the A and CNAME records that run the site alone. Mail only needs MX and SPF; email without changing nameservers explains why the site is not affected.

1. Run nslookup -type=MX yourdomain.com and nslookup -type=TXT yourdomain.com (or dig). You should see only my.mailbux.com for MX and one v=spf1 line that includes msg25.com.
2. In Mailbux, Domains, then Open DNS setup checks the records for you; choose Re-check now after editing.
3. Send a test from a personal address to your new mailbox and reply from Mailbux webmail. In the reply's headers you should see spf=pass.
