Not always that easy. I have a domain, but my "private" mail often gets 
considered as spam (mostly from monopolies like Google or Microsoft).

I don't want html mail, so some mails get "corrupted" in kmail (flight tickets 
are a good example).

I use a somplicated solution:

- mainly my doomain mail
- from gmail I forward to my domain mail. I use gmails (relatively good) spam 
filters to filter various secondary mail addresses (including garbadge 
addresses I give everytime I suspect I could be spammed to get publicity).  I 
use imap on gmail, that keeps the stuff there for security until I delete it.
- my school recently moved to office.365 for our work mail. Office deletes the 
mail sent from my domain account. So I had to create a special identity and 
send the mails via their office smtp, but now they do get through.
