Most ISPs (us, for example) have the ability to take a given domain you have with them (mydomain.com) and funnel all its mail into an account luser@isp.com. This is more than likely the setup you'd use to retrieve all of mydomain.com's mail. If you want to take mydomain.com elsewhere, transfer it and have your new ISP create a similar setup.
