Do I need a hosted email account if I already have web hosting with serve-you.net?

In most cases, no. All of our web hosting plans include email with every domain added to your hosting plan. However, there are a few reasons why you might look at our hosted mail plans. First, your storage quota for email is shared with all other storage for hosting. So if you use a lot of storage for your mail accounts, it can quickly eat up your hosting space. You may also want to split the mail out for other reasons. Another reason may be that you just want email, and no web hosting associated with it.

Finally, it is important to note that our hosted email plans are different than the email provided with our web hosting plans. While they both make use of DirectAdmin provided resources, our hosted email plans have much different configurations and use completely different mail relay architecture. Additionally, there are different webmail clients available with it, that are quite nice.
