Hi,

You can create as many mailboxes under your domain as needed. You just should go to Email section in your cPanel and click on Email accounts, fill in all required forms, and it is ready for use.

If you like using Gmail, you can continue to do so even when using your new e-mail address such as paul@timberline-furniture.com. You could do this by creating a cPanel forwarder to the Gmail account instead of a cPanel mail account. You would then set paul@timberline-furniture.com as an address that can appear as FROM when you send new mail from Gmail.

Another way is to use Google domains, so that Gmail would handle DNS and all mail traffic for your domain.

If you like using Gmail

the only thing about using another mail service is that when you send mail out it'll show from that email. In that case, you must at least not forget to set the "reply to" to the domain email that fowarded the mail in the first place.

That is not correct. As I wrote to the OP, you can edit Gmail settings to allow an alternate address to appear as the sender in the FROM field.
