Moved Domains
Hi all, i recently moved from a .org domain to a .com domain. Everthing is all good except for the mail addresses which still have a .org extension hence cannot receive any mail. Even in the zone editor all records still read .org but i'm afraid of changing anything there like changing everywhere there is a .org extension to .com....please advice what i can do...thanks

Hey there! If the MX records are in place and the DNS is correct, the easiest thing to do would likely be to create forwarders in cPanel so anyone emailing .com gets sent to the old .org, assuming you still own and plan to keep that domain name.

Hi, yes i still own the .org domain but currently using the .com domain. I am not planning on keeping the .org domain. Wanted to completely move to the .com domain...though the mx records still have .org extension

Thanks for the additional details. Unfortunately there isn't going to be an easy way around this as you'll have to manually adjust all the DNS records.
I would setup forwarders inside cPanel for the email accounts so .org gets forwarded to .com. Although those will be temporary, it would ensure you continue to receive those messages while the domain transition happens.
After that, you'll want to adjust all the DNS records, including the MX, to point to cPanel. However, there's no reason that both .org and .com MX records can't exist at the same time, as they would be in separate DNS zones.
