Fastmail, I've been using them for many years now. One of my favorite features is having catch-all email addresses, like whateveryouwant@domain.tld - you can get mails to your inbox for any address in your domain. Also, you can have multiple domains, you pay for the storage.

I enjoy using HEY from 37signals. It's different than other services (more opinionated), but it keeps my inbox under control. They also take privacy seriously. I was a paid subscriber for the first year, stopped for a year, and then went back because I realized how much it helped. It lacks a calendar, though, if that's important to you.

Hey has been well worth the $100/year, especially since they improved search. Curious how it worked when you returned after a year. Did you get your old address back?

Yup! My HEY address was forwarding to Gmail after I stopped my subscription. When I came back, I had to start over. All of the data is removed when you leave. HEY provides a backup when your subscription ends, so I can always take a look at that if there's something I need from that first year.
