Why did my email stop working?

When I signed up for inmotion hosting, it asked for my email address, which I provided: info@[mydomain.com]. I had set up the email account with Gmail when I was still using wordpress.com for my website. Now I am building my site with wordpress.org.

After purchasing hosting here for [mydomain.com] and registering with said email, I am no longer able to receive email at that account. Did I screw it up somehow by doing this?

Right now, several email accounts are registered via Gmail using mydomain.com, and none of them are able to receive emails since I purchased hosting here.

I can't change the email address associated with my inmotion account because it sends a confirmation email to the registered email address ([email protected]), and I can't get emails there for unknown reasons. I am at a complete loss for how to remedy this situation.
