Hey guys, just got my Kaiser and flat rate data and was wanting to get full push email sorted out, but I am a consumer not a business so found it hard to get one, especially with decent spam filtering.

I eventually found http://www.exchangemymail.com/ - they do single user 200MB exchange mailboxes for $9.99 a month (£5 for me - yay!) and chuck in Postini spam filtering and wireless activesync and a copy of outlook 2007 for your desktop for free!

Very easy setup, I now have blackberry-style wireless syncing of mail / contacts / calendar on my HTC phone which absolutely rocks! The web interface is great too, very web 2.0, almost like using a local outlook client, and that's coming from someone who isn't exaclty M$'s biggest fan...

I have my own domain and just redirected my email address to one they gave me, but they will allow you to point your MX at them.

The only downside really for me is that live support is US hours only, so no support till like 2PM (I dunno, maybe they have out of hours via email, but if email is the problem...), but if it were hosted in the UK you bet I would be paying £10 a month not $10 a month...

No minimum contract too. Someone yell if they know of a better deal ;)

Great find! 350MB too! Looks like I may be moving to port88.org then :)

I think the free email hosting will do me for now, but if I like it, I may move my domain hosting in and donate the $50.

Though I will have to see how effective Postini is with exchangemymail. I would happily pay £5 a month for top notch spam filtering to my mobile account alone - I have had this email address for pretty much 20 yrs now and it is on a lot of spam lists...

Sure I could set up my own mail server with spamassassin or whatever, but to be frank, not sure I can be arsed.
