I can't speak highly enough of Fastmail. Great UI (nowadays, I've heard it has been rough in the past), they've just added calendars with CalDAV sync and are working on contact sync with CardDAV. My custom domain (bayne.id.au) was handled quickly and easily. Also, they have excellent support - I've emailed them a few times and always wound up speaking to a clueful developer (when it hasn't been PEBKAC on my part). I do wonder what the software world is coming to, though, when $40 / year is considered expensive. I saw a similar complaint about an Android app I use (Tasker) which costs around $5 if I remember rightly. $5! That's less than the price of a (good) hamburger, for an app that makes my life easier in a number of significant ways. Are we on some sort of doomed race to the bottom like budget airlines?

Going to second Fastmail. I've been a user of it for the past three months and it's easily worth the cost, especially considering it's for something as vital as email. Before Fastmail I hosted my own email server and used sup to access my email. Switching to Fastmail was one of my biggest productivity boosts in the past 6 months. Really wish they'd get CardDAV sync in though :-/.

I switched to Fastmail about a year or so ago, and love it. Custom domain as well. Reliable, nice UI, works flawlessly on all my devices (would like Push notifications on iPhone but 15 minute polling works fine for my purposes).

I also recommend Fastmail. No complaints. UI is great.

oh maybe I wasn't clear enough about the price. I am willing to pay for quality software I just wasn't sure what the prices are. if you're saying it's totally worth the price then I'm good with it. just a note: not everyone is from western world, 40 bucks can mean a way more money to someone say in India etc.
