@ Peter > If you are serious about your email then here is my advice …. get a Google hosted account and host your mail there. They make migration super easy - there is info available at google on how to migrate your email from Dreamhost (and a whole lot of others). I’ve already been using it for most of my business domains hosted elsewhere; this is not the only host where mail servers drive you nuts :-P.

I haven’t bothered with my dreamhost sites yet mainly because they are not that all-fired important for me. But the moment I find my email is critical - I’ll move it to Gmail.
