So, I'm keeping my website with my registrar and moving the email to a better service (better than the awful cPanel one).

I'm giving myself a crash course in A, AAAA, CNAME MX SRV TXT.
Which records do I update? Is it just MX and TXT, or more?

I'm aiming for a seamless transition from one to the other.

Create an MX record pointing to mail.example.com and then an A record pointing mail.example.com to the IP address of the mail server. By default this is usually the same as the A record for the domain.

Of course there are other ways of using a different mail service. One example is to create an email forwarder for you@example.com to Gmail and then in Gmail settings you can set it up to send from you@example.com
