Maybe I am not understanding the situation correctly, but you should be able to change email service providers fairly easily following whatever instructions the new provider gives you. Sign up for the new service. They will give you the MX settings, SPF settings, etc., to change at your domain name registrar. Once you change those your mail should start flowing into your mailbox at the new email provider. Of course, you first want to migrate your existing emails from email provider 1. An easy way to do that is to first set up a desktop client like Thunderbird and make sure you have synced all your email to your local computer, then when you have your new email service hooked up change the settings on Thunderbird and all of your emails will sync up to your new email Inbox. An even easier way to do this is with a service like POBox.com that takes your email from your domain and then redirects it to anywhere, so when you switch email providers you just repoint POBox to your new provider.
