Picking up on a six-month-old dialogue, just so I'm clear, is it true that if I have two hosting accounts set up simultaneously (old host + new host), I should lose
zero email during a hosting switch? Thanks.

The email does get routed according to the DNS tables (well, the MX records but it's similar), so, yes, it's the same. The issue is that email has to live on a server someplace and the host you're switching away from may not let the mail sit on the server.

As a punitive measure, or for technical reasons? I just assumed the host wouldn't know what had happened until it was over (e.g., I call to cancel my account). I assume they still bill me until I cancel, so it's unclear to me how or why they could get away with rejecting the last of my emails while the switch is finalized. Thanks.
