Yeah, if you are paying for a domain and don't store that much stuff in your (e)mailbox, then using your provider's email service is workable.

There are lots of tools for mirroring mailboxes. Feel free to give any a go. That said, when I have an email address with an inbox I don't plan on checking often, it is often soooo much better to set that email account to relay incoming email to an email account you actually check.

I don't think I would feel very confident running an Internet facing email service from a commercial NAS appliance. Security for those things has a poor track record. I would only do that sort of thing if I could place an email gateway in front of it, but that is a bit overkill.
