Hi, i have already moved a domain to on-rev and left email on the old mailserver.
You have to do the following. 1.Ask your ISP/Registrar to change nameserver for your domain to ns1.on-rev. and ns2.on-rev. 2. After nameserver change, add your domain to on-rev 3. Send an email to supp...@on-rev.com or on-...@runrev.com and ask them to change the mx records of your domain. So they point to your old mailserver. That´s it. Hope this helps.
