Help needed – moving from self-hosted site back to WordPress.com

Hi folks, I have a website hosted with Siteground but I want to move back to [wordpress.com]), while keeping my domain name. I’ve read the WordPress blog and the switching process seems simple enough. However, what will happen to my ‘name@domain’ email address? Currently I access that through the Siteground website. If I stop paying Siteground for hosting, will I be able to keep the email?

I’ve looked online but can’t find an answer. I am a technological dumb-dumb so apologies if this is a really stupid question and/or I’m not making any sense! If anyone can explain it to me I’d be very grateful 🙂

Edit: After doing more digging I’ve found the WordPress ‘Professional Email’ service. If I switch back to .com, can I then sign up for this service and transfer my old email here?
