domain name system - Email not working correctly after DNS update

I have my domains at name.com where they are pointing to cloudflare DNS name servers.




After changing webhost I have changed my server IP address at CloudFlare.



My setup is this:



A localhost points to 127.0.0.1 Automatic       
A example.com points to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Automatic
CNAME direct is an alias of example.com Automatic
CNAME ftp is an alias of example.com Automatic
CNAME mail is an alias of example.com Automatic
CNAME www is an alias of example.com Automatic

MX example.com mail handled by example.com Automatic


However - after 48 hours - I am receiving email on both my new and on my old webhost email (i.e. I have setup two email accounts in thunderbird - both info@example.com - that each check a pop3 at either the old or new webhost)
