Hello, I am finally getting around to moving off my HostGator account.  I have created the email accounts, and am ready to change my DNS servers from HostGator to InMotion, but want to confirm that the necessary eMail settings will be autoconfigured in DNS.  If not, I presume I will need to manually configure them?

Hi, and thanks for getting in touch with us!

Your followup post is correct. As long as you plan to have your email hosted here on your InMotion Hosting account, just pointing your domain to our nameservers will automatically configure the DNS to send your email here! You'll still need to create the email address in cPanel, though. If you already have email addresses associated with your domain, you may want to go ahead and make them in cPanel first to prevent anything from being lost.

Support tells me that the DNS is autoconfigured for email hosted at InMotion once the domain is transferred to the InMotion DNS servers.
