we offer zimbra based email service for individuals and business, check it up
at www.centerrack.com
Use Yandex, because better KGB backbone than NSA
I think the offer from Inbox.LV might be interesting as well. Plus, not on US soil.

Although I don't endorse the NSA spying on people, I don't think its necessary for me to go offshore. Although I do believe strongly that if what has been said about the NSA is completely true then it's wrong.
In my opinion sometimes we daily waste money for stupid stuff and , at the same time, we try to save 10$ per year for critical stuff that serve communication like the email hosting service. After a really bad experience with a couple of my customer lets me give a couple of tips : first, split the web hosting service from the email hosting system and next let's spend a dozen of dollars to sleep quiet.
There are several solutions almost free for VPS for instance there are https://www.rootnerds.com/ or http://www.comfortvps.com while for email hosting service there are http://servermx.com/ (they start from 0.5 $ month and are caldav certified ) or ,https://runbox.com/ ..anyway you can find other provider not free, but almost free.
We are offering , till september, many promos that can be accessed only from these link :

I think it's NYC, but like most sites hosted in the US it takes advantage of the premium NSA CDN so you get good latency all over US
(Joking of course, but I think it is NYC)
@serverMx Just purchased two mail boxes but i missed that.
https://biz.mail.ru/
I don't trust US based/hosted providers but MXRoute or BuyVMs BuyShared are solid choices.
Oh boy.
Your own. The freedom and independence is very liberating.
As @4n0nx said - why don't you host it yourself? I've got the 7$/y special from vpsdime as my mail server, its uptime is just great and specs are enough.
Thanks for my 70th thanking, @4n0nx
I'm skeptical about the reliability of the low cost providers, I recall seeing a post a few months back about MXRoute not having a backup mx server and the same goes with BuyShared (I think Francisco even mentioned that it's not even backed up so in case of hardware failure we need to restore from our backups).
I ran for a few years my own mail server but I won't have the time to manage it (it does take a lot of time if you care about security). Since Google was not an option (the main reason why I ran my own server is to run as far as possible from them), Zoho is reasonably a low cost home-made solution (spamassassin and z-push among the features, come on - and their support forums are a joke) I gave it a try (they have a 30 day trial) to Office 365. I'm reasonably anti-microsoft as a general rule but Office 365 is amazingly good. They state clearly they will not use your data for advertising and you can add up to 900 domains or so.
For $5/month/user is by far the cheapest option (cheaper than the free google options, yes), they offer a 99.9something SLA and their support is enterprise grade (well, sort of but depends on your issue).
I know this is lowendtalk and people are looking mostly for cheap options but personally I wouldn't trust my email with a low-cost provider.
Yes, Microsoft will hadover my data to any Govt that asks for it but if you're targeted by a govt, any provider will bend, no matter what they say.
I'm more worried about advertisers than govts.
This is up and running now
Truth is, I've had downtime with Gmail. No matter how much infrastructure you have, things can go wrong. That's why I made MXroute, because the principles on LowEndBox have taught us over the years that the honest reality is that the more massive the infrastructure, the more variables. The more massive the company, the less personal support will often be. With LEB we learned that less can be just as powerful, we can save a ton of money, and at the end of the year the graphs really don't look different enough to justify spending the money we saved.
LEB taught us a lot about the reality of the hosting industry, the actual probabilities of problems and the potential to address common ones without high cost. MXroute was born from what we've learned here.
To date, @Jar's MXRoute has been going strong for me. I've been a little late on the migrating, but that's mostly because of my own laziness. It's definitely the best "cheap" service out there.
Email or Webserver or any data always have backup first rule of electronic data (my rule)
When u talk about reliability of low cost providers that makes u Mo**on in LET
And type of IT infra will have downtime If you need a Enterprise grade Email solution
then i think you should rise your budget high and get service from IT giants like Gmail,yahoo,Outlook
Next time read the thread topic then comment
Man Your are in wrong place comparing Office 365 with Google and zoho &Mxroute
Again man Your are in wrong place
I have a Mxroute account you will amazed by its spam control it works for me
Even in my corporate gmail account i have spam that passes googles spam filter and lands on my inbox
Spam control is very sensitive and hard to achieve
You're telling me. I have nightmares of spam filled inboxes. I wake up in a sweat, and force update the clamav spam sigs
I Know @jar it your expertise and doing your best
Great service @jar Keep it up
+1 for MXroute, solid service. Great value for the price.
Another vote for MXRoute, dealing with mail is such a pain and this is definitely worth the money.
Cheaper comes with cheaper quality.
Luna Node now offers email hosting (in Canada):
http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/58099/luna-node-dynamic-canadian-cloud-virtualization-platform-now-with-e-mail-hosting
ask our email guru jar from MXRoute he will fix you nicely.
@jar everyone loves you
You can't go wrong with mxroute

The free tier at Zoho is good for small/personal use. I had a Google apps account but I don't like using Google's mail services for personal reasons.
Can anyone recommend a KVM VPS provider for setting up a mail server? Or maybe things like this just aren't worth the hassle of managing.
http://tech.tiq.cc/2014/02/how-to-set-up-an-email-server-with-postfix-and-dovecot-without-mysql-on-debian-7/
Just copy/paste and it works but there is a lot of room for improvement configuration wise. For your personal email it should be enough. Pretty much any VPS that exists has enough resources for it, but I would use a dedicated server for privacy reasons. (the cheapest I can think of being kimsufi and online.net (or oneprovider paris location reseller of online.net, more expensive but no setup fee)
I'd prefer a VM with central storage, some HA, and some additional, detached, growable SAN storage for the mail itself. And located in Canada
Both Luna Node and Servarica almost do what I want. Almost.... still experimenting.
@budi1413 If you like we could propose a free upgrade to 2GB (the offer name that you'll see will remain the same but we'll change your storage setup in our system) email or ,alternatively, we could give you 1 extra email account for free.
Please let me know which one do you prefer via email support : [email protected]

Try Zoho
