quick dns question

Ok i have never really understood dns, so i have always used a dns provider to point my domain to my ip address for me

but i have a problem, and that is the fact that email doesn't come to me, so now im just gunna have to setup dns on my machine

but i have gone a bit off the point, i think i no how to set up the dns records to point the domain to my server.

but i have this question

if i got a mail server, and i set its hostname to 'email'

and my domain name is thedigitaldream.co.uk

will the email server then be email.thedigitaldream.co.uk

i really need to know this as im gunna have to set up an mx record and stuff like that

cheers
