How do I get an email the same as my domain name?

example....

Domain 123photo.com (http://www.123photo.com)

I would want my email to be brooke@123photo.com (brooke@123photo.com) not 123photo@yahoo.com (123photo@yahoo.com)

In your Control Panel for your domain there should be a place called "Mail Manage" or something like that. Make a new account and make it what ever you want.

It is an automatic feature of a websites backend. If you buy a website from an Internet Service Provider, using your example www.123photo.com (http://www.123photo.com) they will automatically load a control panel (maybe a different name) for you.

This will be something along the lines of www.123photo.com/cpanel (http://www.123photo.com/cpanel) In there will be an Email feature and you can then simply decide what you want the email to be, and create an account in your computers email software (eg Outlook Express) so that it asks your ISP to forward your emails to your specific computer

I assume you are using Yahoo. Which for the hosting services are your paying for? If you have Web Hosting Starter or one of their other services, just look for "email" on the Web Hosting Control Panel. The select Add Email User. You should be able to create dozens of email address of the form "name@yourdomain.com" if you have one of their pay solutions.

Thanks everyone, I called godaddy (I will be registering my domain with them) and they confirmed what all of you said.
