    Hi -

    I have a domain name currently hosted at a different service provider (yahoo).

    I have my email set up to forward to my gmail account.

    If I transfer my domain name to Winhost, how long will my email be down?

    Thanks!

    Are you planning on using our email servers? If you are create the POP accounts first and setup the forwarding address like you have on your old hosting provider. When you update the name servers to point to us, the emails should either go to us our your old hosting provider. For a time, you may need to look at both email servers for you email. But once DNS caching is cleared, typically 12 hours, then you can drop your old hosting provider and continue to use our email servers.
