email servers

I'm trying to find out how Mailfence can be set up to use ones existing email address.
As far as I'm concerned that is not possible.
Closest I get when googling is:

What is a custom email domain and what are the advantages? - Mailfence Blog

blog.mailfence.com

But that is using Mailfence with ones own domain.
If I have an email address with my own domain, I don't really need Mailfence, all I need is a host for my domain and I can set up email addresses there.

Yes, they will have to use the agreed upon password to decrypt the e-mail that they receive from you, and they will have to view the e-mail that they receive from you in a Web browser.

Ah, well what it actually says is, "Send mail through the address you used to sign up (such as your Gmail address)". Maybe I misunderstood what that meant.

Yes, Jake and krs and lori; I do seem to have got confused about keeping your email address amidst the very comprehensive post by Jake.

Very glad you guys put me right. Sorry for the misinformation.

I also read that to mean that I can keep using my existing email address with Mailfence.
But I also know that this is impossible.

Translate it this way: You can forward mail from Mailfence to your current address at Gmail, if you choose to do so.
