What email service is best in your opinion?

Recommend a cheap, reliable email hosting service

  • I'm looking to find a new email provider. My web host - NFS.net - don't offer this service yet, so I'm casting my net over a wider area. I don't want to use free webmail accounts like Yahoo/Gmail/Hotmail. I also don't need ridiculously large amounts of storage space. What I do need are the following:A maximum of 2 gig of space.POP3 access (I'm not overly bothered about IMAP).A cheap reliable service. I love the NFS.net style of service, which costs cents per day.The ability to choose a sensible email address - not [email protected] or something else ridiculous like that.If NFS.net offered an email service, I'd snatch their arms off for it. My ISP has very very bad email services, that I refuse to pay extra for. What are some service providers that I should consider?

Forgot to add, the ability to have multiple email addresses would be great too.

I know you said no to gmail, but for about $12/year (cost of domain registration), you can register your own domain and use it with gmail, thus having [email protected]. That satisfies your other requirements as well (except for the 2gb max..did you mean minimum?)

did you mean minimum? Nope, maximum. :) I'm using less than 1gig on my main Gmail account.

What is it about Gmail that bothers you? It seems to fit all your requirements except the one where you don't want to use it. It'd also be easier to point you to something if we knew what you didn't like.

I'm using gmail with my own domain name ("google apps for your domain"), so I can have as many aliases ("nicknames") as I want. For that matter, I can have multiple e-mail accounts. If you really want to pay for it, you can get a premier account for $50/yr/account, although that saddles you with an even higher maximum storage limit.

Pobox.com looks like a good contender. Any others in a similar vein?
