Like someone else said best is subjective.

I prefer Fastmail.

They have a great web interface that knows how to properly deal with (catch all) aliases including using the proper address to reply.

They do DNS hosting.

They do WebDAV/Files hosting including being able to create unique shareable links to files and/or dirtree style websites or picture galleries. I've found it all very useful.

I also like their rules filtering which let's you do custom sieve code that I have found pretty handy.

Been with them for 12 years now and they've been consistently great. Before that I was hosting my own mail service using Cyrus IMAP (and since FM is the biggest contributor to the Cyrus suite, that's how I had learned of them).



But it’s an Australian company that is subjected to draconian encryption and surveillance laws, so if privacy is important maybe not the optimal choice. https://www.fastmail.com/blog/access-and-assistance-bill/


True, but email is unencrypted anyway, so pretty much any provider can comply with a legal request and hand over email.

But agreed the TAA bill is pretty bad as that means the company receiving the notice cannot disclose the fact that they've been requested to assist.

As far as email goes, I wouldn't use it for any private conversation. There's better tools for that.
