Paid Email Service Recommendations

[xjr13m]

Hi

I'm looking to setup a new personal email account for a friend. They don't want a gmail or an outlook account and they don't have a domain of their own. I've told them they could probably get a decent paid for email service with no incoming adverts or outgoing watermarks for a couple of pounds a month which they're happy with. But I don't really know where to look. A quick google brought up mail.co.uk which looks OK but I never heard of them.

Can anyone here give some recommendations for a reliable paid for service with some history of a decent service level. Needs to support POP3/IMAP.

Thanks

For the sake of £6 a year, why dont they get their own domain name and open a hosting plan to use it with so that they can choose their own domain name and host it with a reuptable provider?

Gives them a lot more options then, and most like us provide POP3/IMAP and spam controls too.

They can use their own domain anywhere they choose, so would never have to change their email address ever again (Potentially)

Office 365 or G Suite without doubt

I would recommend FastMail.

Top notch service, fantastic web interface.

Great for those who aren't interested in Microsoft or Google's offerings.

Can be used with your own domain (recommended, incase you ever want to jump ship) or with a @fastmail.com address.

I can highly recommend Protonmail - great security and privacy offered including end-to-end encryption for all messages. The only negative is that they only provide 500MB of storage for free.

Have a look here: https://protonmail.com/

Why is that a negative if they are happy to pay for an email provider as stated in the OP?

Protonmail does not natively support IMAP/SMTP. The OP listed this as a requirement but it also makes migrating to another provider more difficult in future.

Thunderbird.
Oops - sorry, just realised the OP wants a paid for service.

Thunderbird is not an email provider either - it's an email client

I use ecohosting. the domain costs £6.99 a year and the email from £4.99 per year

Hi,

Try with mxv.net

So, you don't want to give free emails ago? Tutanota also allows creating email for free.

Another vote for Fastmail, superb service and nice clean webmail interface (if you don't want to use a mail client).
