So, whom do people recommend? (I'm quite willing to pay ... ) Ted.
Ted I've personally never used them, but I've heard good things about fastmail. Similarly, whilst I have never used their email the provider of one of my VPSs (www.daily.co.uk) appear to offer pop/imap mail at a reasonable price. I can vouch for their cheap 'n cheerful VPS service because I have run a tor server with them for over a year with no hassle (and for a couple of quid for a month it might be worth trialling their email).
Thanks, Mick. fastmail and daily.co.uk both look interesting. I'll try to suss out whether their "data protection" conditions embody not doing a google-style scan of one's mails!
I'll look into these -- but still open to recommendations!
I also found this comparison site
which discusses providers and also points to other comparison sites.
But, like Brett, I won't be going back to another provider. I prefer to trust me. Mick
Well, I may get round to "trusting me" sometime in the future, when I have time to look into setting it up. (And looking into the implications of the occasional power outages we get round here, sometimes lasting several hours).
Ted.
