According to http://who.is/whois/louisamitchell.org, your Nameservers are still not set to the WordPress.com Nameservers. For things to work properly, you need to change them to

NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM

like I mentioned previously. Let me know if you need further help with this.

And thank you for the tip, thomasbarley. I didn't know abot 1and1's MX servers, good to know!

http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/custom-dns/

and then for 1and1 just enter :

MX 10 mx00.1and1.com.
MX 20 mx01.1and1.com.

Save and it's done !

Thomas

NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM

You should also make your domain the primary domain, here:
https://louisamitchell.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

When you say that your "mail is still not working", where is it not working? Your MX records are already properly configured with your current Nameservers; what are you using to access your email?

MX 0 mail00.1and1.co.uk.
MX 0 mail01.1and1.co.uk.

Do I also have to enter A, CNAME, TXT and SRV records as well?

Or do you think the issue is at one&one - do I need to change the MX records there to send it back to wordpress?

Here are the guidelines from WordPress.COM

1&1 have given me these records:

MX00.1and1.co.uk
MX01.1and1.co.uk

But they are not being accepted by wordpress as valid?!?!

1&1 have not given me any other record? Is there:

1. any other format of the MX record; or
2. anyway to override wordpress's non acceptance of the MX record form that 1&1 have given me?

I have reset the nameservers to WordPress as instructed.

I have tried inserting the MX records as given to me by ONEANDONE but they will not be accepted by wordpress

This is what they told me to put in:

MX00.1and1.co.uk
MX01.1and1.co.uk

What should the MX records be?
