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 am having an email from big rock, and hosting from infinityfree and domain from godaddy. How to connect email?
You can point your domain to Infinity name server first. Once it is done, you can login to your infinityname server control panel and then change your MX settings. Please make sure you are using correct MX settings from Bigrock.
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.
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.
So before i can start sending emails with MailGun, i need to verify the domain with several DNS records, two TXT and one CNAME record. My problem is that am a bit confused to if these records should be added on the Domain provider or is the "Advanced DNS Zone Editor" in hosting's CPanel sufficient to make the DNS changes.
An additional question, can adding a CNAME record "email.domain.com" mess anything up for sending & receiving functionality?
I would be thankful if anyone could help me clear this up.
Thanks
Adding the described DNS records in the hosting account solved my problem.
I have a registered domain name where the emails are handled by windows live admin center having a single mx record for my domain. I also have access to modify the dns records any time.
We have around 20 email registered in windows live for my domain. for e.g. user1#example.com, user2#example.com etc.
Some users want to go in for google app accounts as they say there are lots of features in it, and therefore I think I need more than one mail server in my organization.
Is it possible that i can have some emails redirected to windows live and some to google apps, provided that I have access to change the dns and mx records?
So you want different users for the same domain to go to different mail servers?
You can't do this by manipulating the DNS records - the mail will be delivered to the server(s) defined by your MX record for the domain without any reference to the user name.
However, there's nothing stopping that mail server being an application that forwards mail onto several other servers based on the user name of the recipient...
This can't be done within the DNS - mail routing is done on the domain part only.
You'll need to arrange for all of the mail to arrive at one central place, and for it to be then forwarded-on depending on who it's for.
Do note that that isn't completely trivial, although any decent mail server should be able to do it. This is because in some cases (cc:, etc) that forwarding will need to result in two copies being forwarded, i.e. if there are multiple recipients and they're not all on the same service.
