Ask HN: What other good mail providers are out there?

7 pointsby piersover 13 years ago
Just read this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3581613<p>There were a couple of providers mentioned, but nothing seemed to stand out as being better than GMail.<p>I've been using GMail since (approximately) 2004 and I've not come across anything better. I need to be able to send email from my domain. I want decent spam filters. And a way to pick up email from my phone. And a decent UI.<p>Other than that it can be ad-supported (as long as the ads aren't too obtrusive) but I don't want to pay anything.<p>So what else is out there?<p>Edit: I started a new thread because the other one was about moving away from Google. I just wondered what else was out there.

does this really need a separate thread?<p>anyway, as i said there, when i looked a while back, runbox seemed best - <a href="http://runbox.com" rel="nofollow">http://runbox.com</a> (screenshots - <a href="http://www.runbox.com/features/email-services/preview/" rel="nofollow">http://www.runbox.com/features/email-services/preview/</a>)<p>but if you are not concerned about privacy etc then i think gmail is the best there is.

Unfortunately the only real competitors are MS Exchange and Kerio, both require your own hardware and are expensive to licence

This really doesn't need a new thread.

Zimbra is pretty nice
