Thanks Peter and Ronni, Yes I was aware it wasn't just a Sandvox issue, perhaps I worded my query a little unclearly.
After moving domain hosting around a few places I was pleased to use the service provided by MobileMe. After all, I was already paying the subscription so the hosting was essentially free. Google mail manages the domain emails for free too, so all was sweet. I won't be moving it just yet, and will wait for Apple to roll out iCloud and see what happens in the new year.
