Is it cool to ask about email hosting in this thread? I need to move my mail to a new host. It's currently hosted on textdrive but they are poo poo and support doesn't respond to my emails. I've got an old lifetime account with them. I'm looking for a reliable host with lots of storage, imap access, and a easy migration process.

No? Google Apps.

Yes? http://prxbx.com/email/

Thanks for the link to the list there. Runbox.com is looking very promising.

More domain chat: I've got a ccTLD domain through Network Solutions, but I don't really like them. However not all domain registrars handle the funny country domains. If I already have a domain can I transfer it to a different registrar even if they don't handle that TLD? I assume not but maybe computers really are magic...

I've heard fastmail is good for hosting email and they aren't one of the big clouds. Today I was actually trying to sign up for icloud email but the app kept giving me an error. They support custom domain and the price looks really good. I'm looking to switch off runbox.com since I've had some delivery issues.

Another question about switching email providers. Is there a tool to copy my existing emails to a new host? IMAP to IMAP? Google brings up guides that say my mail will stay in my client which is true, but is like to consolidate on one server.

It’s a very simple tool that you can run

Trip report: of my 19k mails it copied 15k and had an "append error" on the rest. Will dig into getting the last over but this is exactly the kind of tool that I was looking for, thanks.
