Quick- what is a good pay for $$$ ( not free) email service?
 

I will gladly pay money.

I am tired off all the "free" email addresses.

Basically, I will PAY $. I will be the consumer- not the product.

I need a payed "i.e.- quality" service which I can import contacts from my "free" provider/

I think the most importante thing I need, is a way to 1- import old email from old address, and 2- ease of updating new "quality" email address to people who might contact me, to avoid, "old" email address...

Thanks.

I host my own mail (for multiple domains) on a (pair of) VPSes from linode. com. Let me know if you want to get to that geek level of involvement in your email :)

I think you can get a "real" Office365 account which would provide the same mail service that lots of corps and .edus use for $5/mo/user. Don't know if there is a minimum number of users. But you should be aware of what will happen should you ever cancel the service etc.

Provide an email service for $5/month which includes anti-spam and an ftp based service for sending/receiving large files. Backs up every night to fireproof/waterproof drives. The email supports all clients including Outlook MAPI, has webmail and a free java base client with contacts and calendar. Does Active Sync push to smart phones. For $15 more/year your email can be on your own domain (one that is available, will take care of dns cost and management).

Can help import contacts and emails, and/or forward emails in from other services.

Charge only what it cost to maintain server software, hosted anti-spam/virus, internet connectivity, and update server hardware every 3 or 4 years.

Have been providing this service since 1990. Started back then providing email to spouses of users at the company I work so they could share appointments with their spouses. Grew to also host several companies and a private school. www.zipbang.com

Can also setup and manage Microsoft Office365 for you or more likely your company. Starts at $4/mo and gets expensive fast when you start adding things like office.

There are also places like DNS providers that offer cheaper just basic email accounts without anti-spam, calendars, contacts.

My users like my ftp service called dropship for sending/receiving files. Like dropbox without adds etc. even has a desktop app.

Microsoft provides outlook e-mail service for about $5/month for a single account
