I am using https://www.fastmail.com https://www.fastmail.com with great results. They do have some features in there interface to ease the transition like being able to both send and receive mail from your old address directly from there interface.

I also switched to fastmail from gmail. I setup gmail to forward all emails to my new address, and then running the gmail importer in fastmail. So i have all my emails in fastmail, and receive all emails sent to the old address. I'm using a custom domain for my emails.

  This is exactly what I did. Also of interest is that Yubikey OTP is directly supported, you can host static websites (I generate my site with Jekyll and then rsync it to fastmail's web server), and you can have a ton of other aliases for your mailbox (I've got like 12 addresses right now that all point to fastmail).

I have been a happy Fastmail customer for a year now. I prefer their webmail interface to any software other than mutt because of its excellent keyboard shortcuts. CalDAV access to my calendar has been very stable and CardDAV access to contacts (the feature I've been waiting for) is in beta now. I have seen a small bug related to shared address books (I have a "business" account) on Yosemite, but other than that it has been rock solid.

I too use fastmail (though I moved from my own setup, not from gmail). Some nice things they have: * Proper IMAP and SIEVE support. * CalDAV, CardDAV. * The UI is keyboard-only usable. * The support team is really responsive (they actually added a shortcut for an option that was lacking one within a few days of my request!). * They give back a lot to the FLOSS community, which I really value (but their webmail is mostly proprietary). Their usage of actually standards (instead of just their own) is a great thing! I still use mutt for gpg email, and khal for calendaring, which is pretty good. They also host your XMPP server, if you're an XMPP user. I've been meaning to post a thorough review, but haven't had the time to polish it. I'll post it in HN once I have it, since I'm sure many will be interested.
