Moving from MIAB to Proton Mail

Previously posted This question. I am now getting ready to make the move. The issue I run into is switching from MIAB External DNS to Gandi’s LiveDNS. I have I think, two different issues.
Problem 1. When I try to download the zonefile data from MIAB, it doesn’t download. On the External DNS page, I select the “download” button, a box of text pops up, I select “OK” at the bottom of that box, and the box closes. But I can’t see where there was a download.
Problem 2, I don’t see anyplace in the Gandi switch to LiveDNS where I could import the zonefile into Gandi.
In an attempt to overcome these two problems. I tried copying the text from the zonefile text box, and pasting that into Gandi’s LiveDNS Custom DNS text box, replacing what already exists in that box. When I do I get the following errors :

line 1, cause ‘first line can’t omit rrset_name’
line 2, cause ‘first line can’t omit rrset_name’
line 11, cause ‘can’t use ‘@’ for NS records (param: {‘rrset_name’: ‘@’, ‘rrset_type’: ‘NS’, ‘rrset_values’: [‘ns1.box.xxx.xxx.’], ‘rrset_ttl’: 86400, ‘line’: 11})’
line 12, cause ‘can’t use ‘@’ for NS records (param: {‘rrset_name’: ‘@’, ‘rrset_type’: ‘NS’, ‘rrset_values’: [‘ns2.box.xxx.xxx.’], ‘rrset_ttl’: 86400, ‘line’: 12})’

There is no download. You need to copy/paste the data from the screen into a text file and save it.

You are not going to want to do that as so much will be different. Additionally, Gandi will not use the records in place for DNSSEC as you disabled it in anticipation of the dns change.

Right?

Oh, and don’t forget to invalidate your MTA-STS policy first before trying to switch.

Thank you for your response. I was able to successfully move over to Protonmail. The note about MTA-STS would have been really useful though. I beat my head against that one for a week.
