IMAP Email service provider?

I've been using .mac email for nearly a year now and I'm not too impressed, other than I really like Mail.app as a client. I've also been using Thunderbird on the PC and I need a service provider with IMAP, POP3 or webmail doesn't cut it. I'm a pretty serious email user and the tools that they give me are quite limited. I've thought about setting up my own email server so I can have procmail, spamassassin and all the good tools but it's too much work to manage and maintain.

Anyone know of a good high end email service out there? It's got to have IMAP access with a lot of storage, server side filtering, be able to host my own domain, etc.

Thanks
 
Dude, you should totally check out geekmail.cc (www.geekmail.cc)

I ran my own server for years and though I was pretty die-hard (I am a control freak) the nerds at geekmail eventually convinced me to cut that out and move my email to them.

They have some pretty powerful tools, like a feature taht sucks email from your other accounts (like hotmail, and any POP account). But the real focus is their anti-spam stuff. Since joining geekmail my flow of SPAM has dropped from 200 or so per day to zero. And I hardly ever have to check my spam folder for false positives. The other day they launched greylisting, which in my opinion is hands-down the best anti-spam technology out there.

Anyway, you might also dig their focus on IMAP features (and therefore large 200MB mailboxes) and SSL security throughout the service, which is cool since I'm always on 802.11 networks. Some other little bonus features I use a lot are their WAP interface and their Server-Based Rules engine, which lets you edit your .procmailrc file.

Anyway, geekmail is cool. Check 'em out.

Thanks for all the responses, I signed up with Geekmail since they seemed to have everything that I needed. Service looks good so far...
