Outlook email affected by Wix to Squarespace Domain Transfer

The transfer of a domain from Wix to Squarespace is unlikely to directly affect an Outlook email account if the email is not hosted by Wix. However, there are potential implications to consider: 1. **DNS Record Management**: When transferring the domain, ensure that the MX records for the email provider (in this case, Microsoft 365) are properly managed. If these records are removed or not set up correctly after the transfer, the email may not work as expected. 2. **Downtime During Transfer**: There may be temporary downtime while the DNS settings update to use Squarespace's nameservers. This downtime should be minimal, but it's important to plan for it to avoid disruption. 3. **Email Forwarding**: If the email is being forwarded through Squarespace, ensure that the forwarding rules are set up correctly, especially if the domain was previously hosted with Google Domains. This involves adding necessary DNS records to enable email forwarding. To mitigate potential issues, follow these best practices: - Before initiating the domain transfer, verify and record all your current domain settings. - Ensure that the MX records for your email provider are correctly transferred and set up at Squarespace. - Monitor the DNS propagation during the transfer to minimize downtime. - After the transfer, verify your email settings to ensure they are configured correctly. By addressing these points, you can help ensure that the email hosted on Outlook remains uninterrupted following the domain transfer from Wix to Squarespace.
