That's one drawback. The very limited email functionality of a domain provider is another.

Forwarding email from the domain provider is common and definitely suboptimal and awkward in use, which is what OP has been using.

OP wants aliases, superior webmail, email import/transfer, the ability to point his domain to the company's facebook, and is willing to pay for a good service. The solution I suggested is simple, meets his needs, and gives all the flexibility in an email service he could want. Including many aliases (600!), subdomain addressing, WebDAV access to file storage, website redirects - extremely useful features not offered by any 'all in one' domain seller. Not to mention the superior 2FA & other security options.

@rscaramelo - if you decide to go with Fastmail, all you have to do is edit the Namecheap nameservers to FM's ns1.messagingengine.com as above.. you do not need to set up an MX value.

Same for POBox? Any major difference between the 2? Thanks
