Wordpress Blogs - Gmail or Email thru Hosting Company?

Just wondering which you WP bloggers out there prefer to use for your email program.

I tried setting up gmail to get emails (admin@mydomainname.com) and it wouldnt work for me. Every time I tried clicking the 'Inbox" icon on the gmail website it said that the website could not be displayed.

I couldnt figure it out so I went back to the Dreamhost email setup.

I would love to hear your experiances with both

Thanks

      I'm not understanding your question.

      Are you talking about every time you click the inbox icon inside of Gmail it is giving you a website cannot be found error?

        Yes, when I click on 'Inbox" in gmail, it opens up a new screen and the mail.mydomain.com wont open and it gives message that website cannot be found. I followed all the step listed on gmail and I dont know what went wrong.

    Eh, I've heard so many different things here. People tell you don't use gmail, but I haven't had a problem. That might just be because I sell things as an affiliate and make my email visible for contact.

    I really don't know here. It's really in your hands to figure out which one you want to work with. I don't feel as it affects your commissions in the end.

    Blogging and email have nothing to do with each other...
    Why should a WP blogger be forced to make a choice between gmail and domain based mail. I don't see why would this be relevant.

    I am collecting messages from different POP3 accounts in my Gmail but it never did anything like what you described.
