Gmail can be setup to send and receive email from an external email account on a domain name that you own. After configuring Gmail to work with this account, you can send and receive email on the account directly from the Gmail interface. You will also have the option of using your Gmail email address after setting up your domain's email account to work with Gmail. This process can be used to manage multiple email accounts on various domains from one Gmail account.
