When I say 'forward', it means that peter at ... gets forwarded to my GMail 
address by the domain registrar. But I've set up GMail in such a way 
that the address is peter at ..., instead of an address ending in @gmail.com.

So for all intents and purposes, the e-mail appears to be coming from 
peter at ..., whereas in reality it's GMail all along. You can see it from 
a header in the e-mail, and sometimes Thunderbird messes up and decides 
to use the GMail address. Other than that, it's transparent.

Which means that I have my mailbox separated from my ISP, and my e-mail 
address separated from my mailbox. I can change anything in this set-up 
at any moment, and nobody sending to me or receiving from me would be 
any the wiser.
