Many use Google Apps, http://www.google.com/a, but again, you are free to use whatever email service you would like.

This is possible because all you need to do to make your site live is to change your A record of your DNS to 75.126.211.188.  You do not need to mess with your MX records.  As such, you are free to use the email you currently have as well if that is possible.  

]]>http://help.lightcms.com/emailCan I use a language other than English on a website?http://help.lightcms.com/languageFri, 16 Apr 2010 05:00:00 GMTSupportYes, LightCMS supports any language you would like to have on the site.  Currently, the administration side of LightCMS is all in English.  This might be something that supports other languages in the future, but it currently only in English.
