I used to run my own IMAP mail server and used fetchmail to get my mail
from Rogers and also their SMTP server.  What will he be using to
send/receive mail, if he doesn't have an email provider?  I found
running my own server too much bother, so I got my own domain, provided
by Google, and use that.  Works well.  And since it's a paid account
($10 U.S./year) I don't get the ads etc. that free GMail accounts
attract.  It also gets me DNS for my domain, so I can have all my IPv6
addresses reachable by host name.
