Set up for new ISP
DISplay Name: steve
Email Address: steve@newISp.com

Notice that in either case reply address is same and it is your lifetime or permanent address. Anyone replying to email from you will reply to reply address (steve@mydomain.com). You will need then to make arrangements with your email address provider to forward this email to your new mailbox.
Email Forwarding
Email forwarding allows you to continue to use an existing email address e.g. an email account provided by your lifetime email address provider steve@mydomain.com regardless of which ISP (Internet service provider) you use.
If we continue example of oldISP and newISP then any email messages that are sent to steve@mydomain.com need to be forwarded to either oldISP address or newISP address
oldISP
Your ISP or email provider is oldISp your email address and physical mailbox is steve@oldISp.com.
You arrange with lifetime email address provider (usually you do it yourself through a control panel) to forward email sent to steve@mydomain.com to your mailbox steve@oldISp.com.
newISP
You then decide to change your ISP or email provider to newISp your new email address and physical mailbox is now steve@newISp.com.
You now arrange with lifetime email address provider (usually you do it yourself through a control panel) to forward email sent to steve@mydomain.com to your mailbox steve@newISp.com.
Catch-All Email Addresses
A catch all address is a special case of email forwarding. With a catch all email address then all email sent to anyone@yourdomain.com will be forwarded to a single mailbox.
info@yourdomain.com-----> Mailbox1
sales@yourdomain.com -----> Mailbox1
admin@yourdomain.com -----> Mailbox1
When retrieving email you only need to connect to mailbox1 to retrieve email sent to any of addresses.
