It sounds like you have this working now. Let me know if you still have any questions or if there's anything else I can help with regarding setting up your email account.

Best!

I didn't understand that for the CNAME it should have just read "mail" instead of the whole subdomain "mail.naturalpathstohealth.com"

Also, the MX record Register.com gave me was incorrect. It should have been "MX 10 inbound.registeredsite.com."

Thanks for your attention to this though!

After I assigned the domain name to the wordpress blog, the email account stopped receiving mail. I realized I needed to add DNS records to make this work again. The support staff at Register.com recommended I use the settings below. After waiting a day or so, it seems like the DNS record didn't take. What did I do incorrectly?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CNAME mail.naturalpathstohealth.com mymail5.myregisteredsite.com.
MX 10 naturalpathstohealth.com.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I still don't receive email to the account, and when I go to mail.naturalpathstohealth.com it just redirects me to naturalpathstohealth.com instead of going to mymail5.myregisteredsite.com.

Any ideas?
