Homestead Email Not Working After Domain Transfer
I recently transferred by domain name from Homestead to Squarespace, but would like to keep my email with Homestead. After the domain transfer was completed, my email (still on Homestead) stopped working. I think I have to configure my DNS settings somehow, but am unsure how. Anyone have a solution?

Having the same problem moving over to Wix, but I moved everything, including email over. Looks like I have to call Homestead and have them change the MX records because I currently cannot alter any of the settings now that I transferred it - I no longer can edit the DNS records. Or I have to make my client wait for it to fully transfer, but it's been a week.
If anyone has additional advice, I welcome it.

Update: I called Homestead's support and they gave me what I needed to add an MX record to Squarespace. Hopefully that resolves things.
If it's helpful, this is what they told me to add:
Host: @
Type: MX
Priority: 10
Data: mx.[domain].com

Hello,
I'm glad you called to get assistance, but I do want to make sure you have all of the required DNS records:
