Yes, but you will have to direct your Mail Exchange (MX) records to point to our servers.
To Change Your MX Records for Your Network Solutions Account
- Log in to your account manager at www.networksolutions.com.
- In the DNS Settings section, select Edit DNS. The Edit DNS page displays.
- In the DNS Manager-Advanced Tools panel, select Continue. The DNS Manager-Advanced Tools window displays.
- In the Mail Servers panel, select Add/Edit. The Mail Servers table displays.
- Select Delete to remove the existing records.
- In the Mail Servers table, enter the following information:
- MX preference = 0, mail exchanger = smtp.secureserver.net.
- MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mailstore1.secureserver.net.
- Click Save.
NOTE: If you have not edited DNS settings for this domain name, select Custom DNS Setting.
