I'm using 1and1 and I will say, I'm looking to move.  Downloading email 
is slow, very slow.  I've got clients who complain about the webmail 
interface.

So, I'm looking for some insights.  Say I have a domain that has 20 
email addresses associated with it.  If I transfer the domain, won't 
those email addresses bounce until such time I set them up on the new 
server?  I am having 1and1 host the email and websites.

Further, how does one go about hosting on a different provider?  I'm 
assuming folks are registering one provider and hosting email and web on 
another?

I'm looking for insights here, so disregard my ignorance and enlighten me?
