It's me again. :-) It turns out that Comcast is going to be somewhat delayed in hooking up Internet access at the new house. I can survive myself without home Internet for a few days (it will probably do me good), but at present I run my own mail server in my living room. Having that offline for a few days would be very not good, as I'm not the only one that uses it. I figure this is a good opportunity to look into 3rd party mail hosts, something I've been meaning to do for a while. While I could just grab a random VPS somewhere and install my own mail server again, in the past that's been a full day project (dear god I hate mail servers) and it's not something I'd be looking forward to. So, that means a full on mail host. What I would need: - I have my own domain and mail dns, and want to keep using it. - I have a metric assload of mail archives, which I want to preserve, so a large capacity. - IMAP access. (I don't care of it has POP, but I do want fast IMAP.) - Server-side mail filtering. I don't mean spam (although that too), but the ability to filter mail into folders server-side rather than relying on my desktop mail client to do it. - A webmail client that doesn't suck (read: Not SquirrelMail.) - Not one of the megacorps that owns the Interwebs. (Vis, not Google). I don't trust them with their increasing power. - Other PIM integration is fine, but not required. A for-pay service is fine if it's worth it. Does the above description ring any bells? --Larry Garfield -- Linux Users Of Northern Illinois (Chicago) - Technical Discussion http://luni.org/mailman/listinfo/luni
