FOSS4G.org mailboxes

[Daniel Morissette]

Hi Regina,

Here is another option for you to consider: Rackspace Email 
https://www.rackspace.com/applications/rackspace-email#pricing

3$USD/month per mailbox with 25GB storage each. Users can use the 
webmail interface or their mail client of choice via IMAP.  I've been 
using it with some of my domains for many many years so I know it's 
reliable.

Much more affordable than Google Mail if all you need is email, and much 
less trouble than having to maintain your own mail servers, spam filters 
and all.

Daniel
