[mdlug] Keeping email address with new website

[brandon at fotiu.com]

Hi Jeremy,

Also, you should make sure that there is a plan to archive and restore 
the existing emails and contacts. If they simply transfer the domain 
name and set up a mail server then your pastor will have the same 
address but a new mailbox with nothing in it. Wordpress has many, many 
options for email but something like https://elasticemail.com/ and the 
Wordpress plugin could help.
