I've been using fastmail for a while. It's been solid. A trickle more spam gets through (like, 1 every 2 weeks instead of 1 a month). The android client is solid (had been using K9 before its release). $40/yr for email is more than reasonable in my books.

does it do labels ala gmail or is it folders (ie only one label per email)? Their website doesn't seem to answer this question so my strong suspicion is it is a folder based email architecture. Thanks!

Your suspicion is correct.

I use Zoho for my startup's email, mainly because it's free at our usage level, and we're very budget conscious at the moment.

The only downside I've encountered so far is that the Zoho Mail Android app doesn't support multiple accounts, so if that's something you need, you're stuck with a pop3/imap client.

I started off using Google Apps, using a Domain Alias for my personal GAFYD account, but keeping the "me" identity and the "startup" identity separate became a little bit unwieldy.
