Setting up Apple Mail accounts

I am using Bluehost as my domain registrar and WIX as my web builder / hosting site. When setting up email accounts using my non-icloud domain, do I still need to edit the MX, TXT, and CNAME records at Bluehost? When I go to edit these values a message states: The DNS records below will only apply if your nameservers are pointed to Bluehost.

My name servers are pointed to WIX.

Who is going to be your email host? If you want to use iCloud as your email host, and not just an email client, you'll need to Set up an existing domain with iCloud Mail - Apple Support. You only need to add/change your MX and SPF records, not your name servers or CNAME records, which should allow you to do this changes in your Bluest domain panel. Hope this helps!

Thank you for the prompt reply. One item to clarify: And since BlueHost is only my domain registrar, the DNS's point to WIX, it would be the WIX MX and SPF values I would edit correct? As stated prior, the BlueHost message of 'The DNS records below will only apply if your nameservers are pointed to Bluehost' was shown when I went to edit the values. But my name servers are pointed to WIX.
