Question Good email provider?

My ISP's spam filtering is rubbish, so I'm looking for a new email provider.

Can anyone please recommend a provider that will give me a POP3 box with web access and a really good spam filter?

I've just setup email with 1and1, as I have a domain registered with them. Both my addresses with my ISP have been blacklisted due to spoofed spam email. I get spam from myself regularly! Not sure if they just offer an email only service, but worth a look. They have spam and virus filtering options, and so far I've only had some false positives marked, which were email newsletters from various websites. Seems OK but it's only been a couple of weeks. Have you thought about Google email?

I've got nearly 50 mailboxes on 1and1 (not all mine!) but I've found the spam filter very aggressive so it's turned off on nearly all the accounts and I just use Outlook's filter instead which is very good and always updating. Very rarely real mail in the junk fold, only occasionally junk in the inbox but very easy to deal with.

Google. Free for a gmail address. Free if you have your own domain or £5 a year and choose your own domain. POP or IMAP, just about the best spam filter there is.

www.gmail.com
Google Apps

That £5 includes web hosting as well!!!
