It doesn't seem popular (here at HN, like Fastmail) but the bang for the buck from NameCheap "private email"[0] is pretty solid. I started using them years ago as an alternative to GoDaddy for domain names, and more recently for hosting my email. At little as $1.24/month for a 5GB mailbox with custom domain names / catch-all.
They use something called Jellyfish for spam detection and it's been pretty impressive. A few false negatives but overall catches most of it. And you can use their webmail or any IMAP/POP3/SMTP client.

- criddell 5y agoHave you moved a largish email archive from Gmail to Namecheap? I see they tell you to do it with your client but that seems like it might be unreliable when you have gigabytes of mail to move.
- neogodless 5y agoI'm moving some email now using Thunderbird. It's slow and I don't have huge amounts (Gmail tells me 1.39GB). I'm sure it's possible but it might take an hour or so. A bit slow but I don't think it's unreliable. If it is, that's scary because how would I know :) Just moved a folder with 1037 emails and it has 1037 on NameCheap now. Seems like it moved them all! (And it didn't take too long. It's moving a bunch of subfolders now.)
