You can configure your domain name's DNS settings to use one hosting service for your website (http, www, ftp) and another hosting service for your email (imap, smtp, pop). I use Fastmail.fm for all my email across multiple domains - domains whose websites are hosted elsewhere. This feature is not unique to Fastmail, I believe you should also be able to do this with the paid/professional versions of Google Mail and Yahoo Mail.
