Hosting and email accounts

[tombiz]

I have a domain registered with a hosting company, but they only give me one email account. This is going to be the host of my new site, but I need more email accounts. The only way to get more email accounts is to purches them from the host.

Now, I have another host that I can use for my email, which has 20 mail accounts that I can use.

My question:
Is it possible to keep my website hosted with the first company, and then setup my mailboxes with the second company and get my mail over POP3 access.
All this is done with just one domain that I use.

PLEASE HELP. :confused:

Many hosting companies give you just a few mailboxes (1, in your case), but they allow a large number of forwarding accounts. Check if your host allows that. If so, then create the accounts, and forward to anywhere you want - the other email accounts, or even a webmail account. The people emailing you won't know it isn't actually located on the original site.
