Hello there!
I have hosted a domain for my website at dreamhost and bought there two email addresses. Dreamhost created many dns records (MX, A, TXT, SRV) for my webmail and I would like to use it. I read that I need to put all records to the dns table at Cloudflare. I did that but if I try to open the webmail it just redirects me to my website. I have entered all DNS records with a grey cloud.
Thanks in advance! 
Yes, all your DNS records need to be here, just like they are at Dreamhost. It should be a workable setup. What’s the URL for your webmail?
Here my link: http://webmail.gamauf.io/
Is that a CNAME? It doesn’t seem like since it only returns an IP address.
I don’t like how that’s HTTP, and you’re entering login credentials.
Try this:
webmail.gamauf.io/* with a Setting for SSL: Full (not strict)I just copied all DNS records from Dreamhost to Cloudflare. webmail.gamauf.io is a A record.
@sdayman well it also works with https. I noticed that it works fine I just had to clear my browser cache 
Theoretically it’s a good idea to rewrite http://webmail.gamauf.io to https?
If it’s set to , and your Crypto page here is set to Always Use HTTPS and Automatic HTTPS Rewrites, that should take care of it.
No need for a Page Rule. Use the SSL/TLS settings page, and it will apply to your main site as well as webmail. And you need both settings: Always Use HTTPS + Auto HTTPS Rewrites.
Should I set the cloud to orange for any record?
These should be 
:
gamauf.io
www
webmail
So for any A Record and CNAME?
You can usually a CNAME record for a website and be fine. If not, set it back to
