Email provider recommendations for those tired of mangled messages (was: subprocess + python-daemon - bug/problem?)

I've been asked off-list whether I have any suggestions for those who
want a better email provider. Handling email (transport and mailbox
services) is certainly a service that's worth getting someone else to
handle, provided you can trust they'll do so reliably and well. For me,
“well” includes “don't mangle my messages”.

My personal solution to this is to manage my own email server machine,
but that's an ongoing investment of time that is not something I would
recommend to everyone.

Nancy McGough maintained (past tense? present tense?) a comprehensive
index <URL:http://www.ii.com/internet/messaging/imap/isps/#providers> of
email service providers with IMAP access, hence allowing you to use
whatever IMAP mail client you like to communicate with your mailboxes
remotely. There are feature lists and price indications for each
provider.

Several of my colleagues swear by Tuffmail <URL:http://tuffmail.com/> as
providing excellent uptime, fine control filtering, responsive service,
flexible customisation, and good overall value.
