>coincidentally (but unrelated), what is this crowd's current mail hosting recommendation?
I had been using my ISP's email for imap connectivity from my home and phone.
They are getting out of the business of supplying the circuit I have with them and am now moving away from that ISP.
I chose to host my own email (I already owned my own domains and hosted my own MTA for those domains) on a local imap server. Heck, I even host my own authoritative DNS zones.
While there are single point of failure modes with that, nothing I do with my personal domains would kill me if my (multiple) ISP links are down for a few days.
Not the solution for everyone, but it works for me.
