No problem.
Here's the step.
First you have to configure your domain name, for this example let us use hardworking.com domain. I will configure my support [at] hardworking.com to redirect all mails to my gmail.
- Login to your domain management console.
- Manage hardworking.com domain name, go to email setting where you can forward email address.
- Email Forwarding (forwards to an actual POP3 or webmail account)
- Forward support [at] hardworking.com to my email address at gmail.com
- Save changes.
Now login to gmail.com
- Go to Setting, click on Accounts, then click on Add another email address
- You have the option to make this email address as your default to reply.
You need to authenticate this ofcourse.
Viola ... Send email and test it.
You don't have to worry managing your own mail server or paying any cent. Built in chat, spam tool, unlimted email. My favorite, I can read my mail using my phone, as fast as reading in blackberry ....
Ofcourse you will see google ads, who cares about that ad anyway. We do make money out it in some ways.
Good luck,
