I just want simple POP email. Nothing more exotic than that.

Problem:
GoDaddy is trying to push everyone onto their Office365 service which costs a lot and has more features than I need. At the same time, my experience is that their cPanel-based email has become unreliable. Sometimes emails go out right away. Sometimes they take 45-60 minutes to go out. A few never seem to go out at all.

I can probably solve this by paying for a standalone server, which is overkill for my needs in this case.

Can anyone recommend a reasonably-priced, shared server host with cPanel (or similar unrestricted) email service that works well? I'm probably using 5-6 emails.

Hostgator? someone else?
If you want reliable email then you don't want shared hosting.

Don't have a lot of time to go into it now but if you want to PM me I can talk you through the options later.

It's relatively cheap and simple.
