Google Apps has a free option which isn't too shabby. I'm using it for a 
couple of domains with no problems so far.

I second that. I was a Fasthosts customer about five years ago and
experienced nothing but problem after problem.

Regarding the original question, I'm too looking into hosting options 
for e-mail. I've been considering paying the $50 per year for the
Google Apps service. I've been using the standard Gmail service for a
number of years now and I'm quite happy with it. I think the extra 
features of the Google Apps service would only improve an already good
reliable service.

I second that. I was a Fasthosts customer about five years ago and
experienced nothing but problem after problem.

Regarding the original question, I'm too looking into hosting options
for e-mail. I've been considering paying the $50 per year for the
Google Apps service. I've been using the standard Gmail service for a
number of years now and I'm quite happy with it. I think the extra
features of the Google Apps service would only improve an already good
reliable service.
