I am also on the look out for a decent alternative to gmail. So far I've come across the following:

Zoho Mail: https://www.zoho.com/mail

Rackspace: http://www.rackspace.com/apps/email_hosting/rackspace_email

Fastmail.fm: http://fastmail.fm

I'm still looking around, but would love to hear if anyone uses and recommends any of the above.

I've been using FastMail.fm for around 4 years now. It's absolutely worth the $40/yr. I manage a lot of email accounts, and FastMail lets me define rules to file emails from different accounts into different folders, and automatically set my from/reply-to address based on the folder I'm in. Their spam handling has been excellent and there are tons of other small features like one-time-passwords which are great.

That said, I do find GMail's interface "snappier" than FastMail's, and threaded conversations are definitely nice to have. I'm starting to see GMail's benefit in tagging messages instead of using a folder hierarchy, but for managing email from multiple accounts, FastMail is definitely easier.

Fastmail is a great service for a modest price. Definitely worth it unless you want (or need) to spring for MS Hosted Exchange in which case I'd Rackspace.

I like Fastmail, too. Been with them for about 10 years now. Have my dns there, too for several domains.
