It's getting less common in the UK, mostly it comes only with web
hosting. Where it is offered by the ISP, it is usually outsourced.

BT, the national telecoms provider, has always outsourced its email,
even for business customers. About twenty years ago, the advice for
their business customers who wanted email was 'get free Yahoo accounts'.
Yes, really.

Then they started providing email, outsourcing to Yahoo. Now they use
Microsoft, as almost everyone seems to do, either as webmail or as a
virtual Exchange.
