I want to be able to receive email from a few xxx@mydomain email accounts and also send email from those addresses.

Now, I'm looking for a very, very cheap, or free alternative.

To receive my email, I thought of just using a free email forwarding service from a DNS registrar offer. Something like:


mail_1@mydomain.com -> forward to freemail_1@gmail.com

mail_2@mydomain.com -> forward to freemail_2@gmail.com


Now, how can I send emails from mail_1@mydomain.com?

Also, is my approach correct? Or is there a better option for free/ almost free (< 40$ for 5 email accounts)?

If your domain registrar provides the facility to forward email addresses then you can use that to receive the email to a (free) gmail account.

Gmail can then be configured to send email from this email address in Settings > Accounts > Send mail as. You need to prove ownership of this email address by receiving email to it, which you have already set up in the first step.

However, if you don't have an SMTP server for this account through which to send mail, then you will need to use gmail's. This is OK, but it will expose the gmail account email in the Sender: header. Depending on the email client used to receive your email, this may or may not be visible to the recipient.

You can also use an alternative email account (which you already own) to receive email and send via another email client using your existing email's SMTP server. Or collect email from Gmail using POP3/IMAP and send via an alternative email client...?
