Just a follow-up to my original request. Following Bev's suggestion of 1and1, I had a wee look at them and decided to sign up to their "Instant Email" hosting account. Tests so far show that it seems to run well and slickly. A bit of trouble (probably self-inflicted) in setting up the IMAP at my end, but soon rectified. I'll be jumping it through some hoops over the next few days.
When I'm ready to migrate fully to that service I'll let it be known.
Best wishes to all, Ted.
