I see a lot of posts regarding this topic however a lot of them do indirect advertising for web hosters. I struggle to understand if it is possible to create email address for free once I buy my domain name ?
My aim is to redirect them directly to my gmail account.
Thank you for your explanations.

My client wishes to bring his website down and domain down permanently and delete all of these accounts. Hosting and domain are handled by HostGator. WordPress theme has the info#domail.com reference. His email is a gmail account. The problem is, he wants past customers who have been using info#domain.com to be redirected to his gmail account username#gmail.com. I tried using just the domain as a redirection tool, but it only seems to redirect to a different websit.com, not an actual email account. Is this possible? How would I do this for him? Thanks for whatever help or info anyone can offer.

I'm looking for a way to allow Yahoo application to read user's emails over IMAP. It works well for old applications (that were created before Yahoo Mail API has deprecated), but trying to access IMAP for new applications gives me an error
[AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] (#AUTH007) Bad scope.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to add a correct scope for accessing IMAP for new applications. During creation of the app, I was not given a choice to add scope with name even looking like 'mail'.
Is Yahoo API just broken or there is some tricky way to work around?

I've just built a website for a customer which I'm currently hosting on Webfaction. I now want to point their company-TLD to the website I built, but I don't want to create an email nightmare for that company.
So my question; is it possible to only host the website of a domain on webfaction and leave the email hosting as it is now? All tips are welcome!
The answer to your question is yes you can leave email hosting as if for now.
You can also migrate email services from webfaction from which you are taking hosting or you can get email services later from many hosting companies.
For my website I took email services from host preneur because when I bought my domain I did not think that email service was required then.
My domain name use Route 53 like DNS Servie. Is there a way to handle email for my domain ? Example: admin(at)mydomain.com pointing on a Gmail address ?
Is it mandatory to use Google App and pay for that ?
Thank you
No it's not necessary to use Google Apps for this. There are multiple methods to redirect mail.
Run a mail-server, by far the most complex but it's free and you are in total control.
Amazon WorkMail is cheaper than Google Apps but you still have to pay for it.
Mailgun is a great service and is probably the easiest to get running and it's free if you don't send/receive much mail. Check out this guide to get started: https://renzo.lucioni.xyz/mail-forwarding-with-mailgun/
There are many, many others, way too many to list but I think this is a representative sample.
One of my friends got a job offer from an email like
name#somedomain.com. When opening the domain one can easily recognise that its parked.
I checked with Who.Is and found its registered by register.com.
Verifying the email at http://www.infobyip.com/verifyemailaccount.php
says the email exists.
So is it possible to send and receive emails from a parked domain?
thank you
Normally a parked website does mean no services, however, it is possible that lets say the company hasnt paid, so the domain has gone into parked, but all their services are still setup to email.. Because their server still accepts the domain, theres every chance the mail would get through.
However - its not a good sign for an employee that your future employer didnt pay up for their hosting..
Yes it's absolutely possible to send email from parked domains. Parking means it's registered but the user hasn't done anything/much with it. Depending on if it's a register-level park or a host-level park a domain could have some or all services and still appear "parked" when visiting through the web.
In many cases when you register a domain with a company that provides hosting & registration - the domain will appear with a parking style web page - even though it's up and running and paid for. Until the user uploads their website that page will stay (sometimes it can be years! Because the supply of good domains is getting limited people will claim the domain as soon as they have an idea taking weeks, months, years to release the service).
All that said... it's tough to take a potential employer seriously if they don't even have an information page loaded instead of the host default parked page.
According to Wikipedia, "Domain parking is the registration of an Internet domain name without using it for services such as e-mail or a website i.e. without placing any content on the domain" -- so, if a domain is truly parked, it cannot be used for email.
