[TriLUG] Suggestions for mail hosting.

Anyone with experience in third-party email hosting?  Places like pobox.com and 
similar?

Bellsouth's (now AT&T) mail servers have been annoyingly flaky for a month or 
so, delaying messages hours or even days, returning messages unsent after three 
days, etc.  So, I'm looking for somewhere that can host my email, letting me 
pick it up via POP3.  It needs to be an actual host, not just a redirector, as 
redirecting to my BS account wouldn't help in this case.

I don't want to use gmail/hotmail, because I don't trust either company enough.  
I don't mind paying a reasonable (<$100) yearly cost.  Running my own server is 
out, violates TOS and they port block.

I've found pobox.com and a few others, but I'd like some reviews before I go to 
the hassle of changing my email address.

With foreign quarrels; that action, hence borne out,
May waste the memory of the former days.
