Does changing A record IP address affect MX records?

Suppose you have the following A record: example.com. 3599 IN A 192.0.2.78 And these MX records: example.com. 997 IN MX 10 mx01.1and1.co.uk.example. example.com. 997 IN MX 10 mx00.1and1.co.uk.example … And you then changed the IP address for the A record to a non 1&1 ip address (so that the website could be hosted on an external hosting), would that affect the MX records or mess up the email in any way …
