Transferring domain and web hosting - will office 365 emails still work?

Question

We're currently with 1&1 for our domain registration and web hosting for our website www.forthisexample.co.uk

Office 365 is our email server and all our employees have email address that follow [email protected] set up on our 365 account.

We would like to transfer our domain registration and web hosting to a new company. The domain will obviously be the same www.forthisexample.co.uk but will be registered and the website hosted with the new company.

We have an MX record on 1&1 : forthisexample-co-uk.mail.protection.outlook.com

As the domain name is staying the same, do I need to change anything for the email address to carry on working? or do i just add this MX record on the new web hosting cpanel?

Sorry if the question is vague, not sure how best to ask this.

Thanks

Answer 1

Working of emails is based on MX record only. This specifies a mail server responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of a recipient's domain. So if anyway your nameservers are changed you need to update MX record. So you only just need to add this MX record on the new web hosting cpanel.
