Jules,
Rome wasn't biuld in a day. And I don't think this is going to happen overnite.
If you have never did it before you may want to think about farming this out to a pro.

Do you have a domain name yet? If so, where is it hosted? Most hosting companies have portals that allow you to set up email addresses off of your domain.

There are many dynamic dns services online that have space to put an MX record in. Best yet they are FREE!
I have used dyndns.org, no-ip.org as well as several others. If you have a SOHO (cheap) router there is probably a place to setup you Dynamic DNS account. If not you can use a applet that runs as a service.

PS I do not recommend this for enterprise applications.

I have had really good experiences with www.hostmysite.com I run my personal, business, and fire department web sites with them. I think the entry level hosting plans are around $10/month and include 50 email accounts. I have the developer plans and it runs me $230/year with 500 email accounts, 2Gb of space, free domain name, and a bunch of other features. There is no way to get a website done overnight, at a minimum the dns records have to get pushed around the world which can take up to 4 days to happen, most are done in about a day. You could use a dynamic dns service but then you have to host the email server yourself, which can get pretty involved. Your domain would also by something along the lines of datacompany.dyndns.org. When I set up the accounts with hostmysite I could access them in about an hour, just had to wait for the dns records to get updated.

I have seen the dns record updated on one provider, but another didn't come up for another two days, I think their standard line is it can take up to 7 business days.
