Mail hosting

[mac-23]

I'm looking for a cheap, reliable mail hosting service (and, no, I don't
want to run my own server!).  Any recommendations?

Google Apps for Domains. It's free for up to 50 users.

Ah, sorry — and not Google!  :-(

I would have suggested Google too... what sort of mail server are you after?  And how much do you want to spend?

I just want basic mail hosting for my own domain.  I just need IMAP
(though + web mail would be convenient sometimes), and I really only
need up to 5 mailboxes.  Under £1 a month would be nice.

I have found virtualnames.co.uk very reliable and inexpensive.  Also
very responsive and helpful if there are any problems.

Can I ask why you have ruled out Google?

Seems ideal, to me at least... has one of the best webmail interfaces out there.

Thanks, Colin, I'll take a look.

Oh, it's a personal preference.  As Eben Moglen says, along with
Google's wonderful services, you get spying for free.

But I don't want to engage in a polemic about this.  We have to decide
for ourselves what we're OK with.  Personally, I have as little to do
with Google as possible (and yes, I do block google-analytics on web
sites I visit;  and I search with Scroogle or Ixquick.  Pass me a
tin-foil hat!)

Thanks for the info, Gordon, and thanks to everyone for the help and
information.   I've been researching your various suggestions, and
looking into the options, and I've decided simply to use mail forwarding
from an existing account.

Thanks again for all your help.

Hi, mac

Sorry, I am late to this thread, but I use UKFSN (UK Free Software
Network), who donate money to FLOSS development:

   http://ukfsn.org

I use it for my personal email acount ([hidden email]) and for
authenticated SMTP from other email accounts when I'm travelling.

Bye,

   Tony.

Tony >>> Thanks for taking the trouble to reply to this.  I'm afraid
that, at £20 + VAT for a single domain, the UKFSN e-mail hosting costs
are much higher than I wanted to pay.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.
