God damn it, my main business email account is namecheap. I am so sick of them, they let so much spam in to my inboxes as well. If I have a domain from namecheap, and an email address with that domain, can I transfer it to something solid like outlook or gmail? My idea of how email works is really fuzzy.

#13Just received a bunch of cryptocurrency phising spam from their domain. Definitely pretty interesting, and they were actually fairly well done with a proper link text, but an incorrect link.
Huh, I wonder what the logic was. I own several domains through Namecheap over several years and I haven’t received any spam
As of now I haven't yet received spam/phishing from this breach either

Yes you can. You'll need to:
- Setup the account with the new provider (note: that most providers including I believe outlook and gmail will charge a monthly fee for using a custom domain). I recommend Fastmail.
- "Add the domain" with the provider (which will mean they're expecting mail from it on their end
- Update a bunch of DNS records to point to your new provider. This will include MX records as well as things like DKIM and SPF. The provider will likely tell you what you need to set in as part of the previous step.

I'd recommend having a look at Fastmail as well.
