I have a client who has their domain name registered through Network Solutions and their site hosted at GoDaddy. I checked at GoDaddy and they're not hosting the email accounts, so I asked the client and all they could tell me is they have Exchange. I'm trying to transfer the domain and hosting to a new host, but I don't want to mess up their email addresses at all. Since GoDaddy is not hosting the email and it's through exchange, will I be okay just transferring it, or will I need to do something with exchange to point to the new ip/nameservers/etc?

Does the DNS records not give you the IP address of the exchange server?– MartinCommented Sep 22, 2010 at 19:39

If you ensure that the DNS transfer keep the existing MX records (and other records related to mail) you should be just fine.
The MX records specify which hosts e-mail for the domain is sent to. If these hosts are also part of the domain, you should ensure that the records for those hosts are kept as well.
