: If MX records are set to Gmail, does the mailbox need to exist in the CPanel hosting package? I have a client who currently has his domain's MX records set to Gmail ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM., etc.

I have a client who currently has his domain's MX records set to Gmail ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM., etc.

I am transferring the client's site to a new host.

Do I need to create the mailbox in the new host's CPanel? Or is mailbox management and creation managed by Googlemail, so nothing will change if I update the A Name?

Please confirm the existing email's will be not lost.

Nope, the MX records override this and instead mail goes direct to google servers.
You do not need to create cpanel email accounts.

You should have A records pointing to your cpanel server where the site resides and the MX records to google servers as you correctly stated earlier.
