    Yes it's possible but as you say is a bit of an effort to set up. Just search for how to do it with your domain host. 

    A possible compromise is to set up your domain email to forward to your Gmail so you get all your emails in Gmail but if you reply it will come from Gmail.

    Yes, I can 'spoof' it, but the result is not great. It would be useful if I was migrating to another provider/address, but it's not a long term solution.

    I will stick with what I have.
    So currently people email my info@domain email address and it comes to my domain@gmail.com email. If I reply it comes from my info@domain address.
    The Gmail part is free my only cost is the domain name and 1 mailbox although a lot of domain hosts have free mailboxes.

    Not sure why you want to get gmail involved?
    I have my own domain (with ionos) and use Thunderbird on my PC (and K9 on my phone) which are both free, to access emails.

    Did you ever answer this question?

    I never said I did. Gmail was an example.
    Ionos appear to charge for their hosted email service.
