I have cancelled the cc: forward. I have not done anything with MX records and I have not redirected anything - I don't know how.

Start by following earlier posts: delete any 're-directs,' forwarders, email setups, or other custom settings you made to your domain at your Registrar. Hopefully you have made proper DNS entries so your domain "points" to your website hosted at VodaHost. If so, then these steps will make perfect sense:
1. We have to
first assume you have a hosting account, and have properly associated a domain to the account (as an add-on, whether it was transferred to VodaHost of left with another Registrar and proper DNS changes made).
2. To delete emails sent to your website (or domain), you must have
first created an email account for the domain, which is done in cPanel by clicking on EMAIL ACCOUNTS and going through the Add New Account process.
3. So, if you did that, you would then have "unlimited email accounts" as VodaHost advertises enabled for your account, which is called Webmail --- and you have a choice of Utilities to access/view/manage your Webmail as well.
4. To access your Webmail, simply use the link
www.YourDomainName.com/webmail/ ....... it will allow you direct access using the User Name and Password you established during the Email Setup Process in Step 1 above.
5. If you find going into Webmail tedious or too limiting, you can set up Outlook or Express for your Domain Hosting Webmail Account, and send/receive using your own domain name if you like without restriction (other than 200 max per hour sending limits), so whether to continue or discontinure email services elsewhere is entirely up to you.
Personally, I have a permanent Juno email address, primarily because that is the first one I used Lord knows years ago to set up all my "official" accounts with banks, etc. Even though I have a free Hotmail, GMail, and Yahoo, they are all forwarded to my main email address even though my Outlook gets them for me daily (this way, I always have a copy left on the server in case my computer fries!). I find Outlook to be the best personal way to organize my email, and it is currently managing my more than 90 email addresses from all my VH accounts and websites superbly! Now ... if I could finally get up the gumption to migrate to ACT exclusively, I will have finally evolved! LOLOL
Like I said, it all depends on what is important to you and your unique requirements whether or not to shift entirely to a single email solution, and how you wish it to perform!
