I want to setup a mailbox for my custom domain bought in Microsoft Azure. For this, I am configuring Zoho Mail to be my mail box for the custom domain. Now I am supposed to configure email delivery settings. Zoho says -
You need to configure the MX records of your domain in the DNS hosting provider (DNS Manager) to start receiving email to the users and groups created. You change the email service provider of the domain, only after this critical step.
Where do I find the email server settings of a web app in Microsoft Azure? Does Microsoft Azure even support this kind of stuff? Please help, thank you.
You might have figured this out by now but this might prove useful for someone else.
In azure navigate to your app service. In the Settings section select Custom Domains. Select your domain name and then click on the Advanced Management button. This should take you to Azure Domain Manager, where you can again select your domain name. Under the settings icon you can select Manage DNS and here's where you can add your CNAME and MX details.
Here is how to add TXT verification for Zoho for DNS-zone:
Click +Record set button
Select TXT in Type drop-down list
Put # into "Name" field
Copy and paste your Zoho TXT verification value to "Value" field
Zoho verification value looks like this:
zoho-verification=XXYYYYYYYY.zmverify.zoho.com
Quote from zoho.com/cpanel/verify:
You may have to wait for at least an hour for the changes to take effect in the DNS Servers. After an hour or two, log in to your Zoho Mail Control Panel and click Verify.
Start from here. Read through the article

You have to add a MX record from the DNS management section of Azure portal.

My domain is hosted at Godaddy and my project is at Digitalocean.
I want more than 15 custom emails, I know Godaddy offers email services but it is a little expensive for me. What I want is another services who offers create emails without transfer my domain name from Godaddy.
Thanks.
You can always purchase separate email service from MXRoute or Zoho, then please make sure you edit your DNS settings and point to correct settings.
I have pointed a domain on ixwebhosting with ixweb namserver also i am using the the google apps email which is also configure in the ixweb. But my domain is now on different server pointed from ixweb with A record so how should enter mx record so that my mail server works with ixweb, i am using cpanel now?
You can use Google email service. You just need to set required MX records from DNS management section from where you are managing your domain name DNS records.
As you have said that, you have set nameservers to point ixwebhosting server so you can manage your domain DNS records from cPanel. Following are required steps to set your domain MX/mail service to Google:
Log into your Cpanel.
Click the MX Entry icon.
Select your domain ame from the drop-down list, for which you want to set MX records.
Choose Automatically Detect Configuration and hit the Change button.
Under "Add New Record", enter your Google MX records.
Click on "Add New Record" button to save the changes.
Also, make sure that you remove ixwebhosting MX records so it will not conflict MX records and you do not face any problem in email service.
Once you add Google records, it will take sometime for DNS propagation. If you do not see MX entry Icon in cPanel or you do not have expertise on DNS modification, recommend to contact hosting provider support to setup this for you.
There are a couple of ways to do this, but we will require more information. Have you added A record pointing to a different server from Domain control panel or your hosting control panel.
If you have pointed A record from Domain control panel then you will still be using nameserver of ixwebhosting and MX record of Google. So you can login into your hosting control panel and change your existing MX records from google to ixwebhosting. You can get MX records from ixwebhosting.
The steps provided by Herbal are fine, But forget to add one more step to to set Email Routing as Remote Mail Exchanger. It is required.
I recently got an account with a custom after the # email address. I can send emails from this, but cannot receive them. I am currently hosting my website with GitHub Pages, and am wondering how the MX records work. Zoho's documentation is kinda confusing: I am wondering how to set this up.
Thanks!
Github Pages doesn't directly have anything to do with your particular question I don't think.
The MX records need to be set as part of your DNS settings (or ZONE file), and therefore are related to your domain name rather than necessarily your hosting provider.
Unless your hosting provider also manages your DNS settings (as in my case with DigitalOcean), these settings will typically be managed with your domain registrar (e.g. GoDaddy, 123-Reg.co.uk etc.).
The documentation you link to provides walkthrough tutorials for many domain providers (e.g. GoDaddy etc.), but from what I can remember, you basically have two steps in setting up Zoho (which I also use - and wholeheartedly recommend!):
Add a temporary CNAME record to the DNS settings for your domain (using the details provided by Zoho) so that Zoho can verify you have administrative access to the domain record.
Add the two MX records to your domain record, again using the details provided by Zoho.
Here is an example set of DNS records containing the two Zoho MX records and the verify CNAME record to help illustrate:
Hope this helps.
We currently have two domains, domain1.com and domain2.com
There are Google Apps/Email accounts for each domain.
I would like to migrate the accounts from domain2 over to domain1 so that when you're signed in to account#domain1.com you can send and receive messages from both domains.
I have done this before with my personal gmail however never domain-wide with numerous accounts.
Is it even possible to map all of the addresses like this without having to sign in to each individual account?
You need to migrate the all data (more info). The email portion of the migration (unless you use a third party tool) will be the only part that will be done at an admin level. The rest will need to be done on a user by user basis.
Once you've moved added the data from domain2.com > domain1.com, you need to delete the Google Apps account for domain2.com and add it as a secondary domain or domain alias for domain1.com. If you don't want uses to be logging in with user#domain2.com and only want them to send/receive as #domain2.com, an alias will likely be the best. Info on adding one of these can be found here.
The final step will be setting up a send as on each account so they can also send as their #domain2.com addresses (they'll automatically receive if you add as an alias). These instructions can be found here.
Good luck!
I have two admin users on my newly created domain.
E-mails sent to one are also being sent to the e-mail address set in Domain Settings > General > Contact Information > Secondary E-mail Address. This does not happen to e-mails sent to the other user (the primary domain contact).
I have tried unchecking 'Inherit routes' for this user but it has not made a difference (I waited over five hours between unchecking it and trying again).
Any ideas what could be going on? Thanks very much.
I called Google Apps support and was able to resolve this.
It turns out the person who initially created the domain set up a "receiving routing rule" to automatically forward all e-mails for all users to his personal address.
Receiving routing rules can be adjusted via the Google Apps cPanel. Go to Settings, then Email Settings, then down to Receiving Routing, click Edit, and check your rules to ensure the 'Add more recipients' checkbox is unchecked (mine was checked and had the personal e-mail address set) or simply delete the rule if no other options are set.
