[mdlug] Keeping email address with new website

[Carl T. Miller]

Hi Jeremy,

As I understand it, you currently have a website and an
email provider.  You're planning the new website and
want to keep the same email provider.

If that's right, the question is whether or not your
email is provided separately from your current website.
If you have a bundle with both web and email, you'll
need to keep that account for your email.  If your
email is separate from the web account, you can safely
switch to the new website and your email will not break.

Let me know if you have any questions.
