    The 'best' thing, if you're a business, is to roll your own and have IMAP/POP functionality on a box you pay for somewhere.

    Ideally you'd pay extra for your own IP address too, just in case some cunt on your 'shared server' service is spamming and your mail gets caught up in it and the likes of Gmail or Outlook quietly fail your emails, fucking up your business (as happened to me a couple of years ago - not a lot of fun realising after a few days that all your gmail-using clients aren't hearing from you...)
