Email hosting

Hello guys.
I am looking for email hosting. I have 3 domains, each would have 3 email boxes, so 9 in total. Not looking for extra large space or anything additional. Which service would you recommend me? I've looked at rackspace so far, any thought for it?
Thanks in advance!

Confirm!
Zoho is the best, it's as simple as that. Gmail has nothing on Zoho, and never will; even for personal email.
Windows Live. Been using it for my domain, still going strong.
Second that
Rackspace Hosted Email is my recommendation.

The problem is simple. You want to host e-mail for your domain with a secure provider that isn't parsing your conversations to target you with ads. You want it affordable and reliable. Well, here we are.
I use Windows Live (Outlook) too. It's really great. You get 50 mailboxes with 5 GB each, so in that regard it's plenty. The Outlook webmail is also great, works just as good Gmail for the most part (Gmail does have more features, but I hardly ever use them anyway).
Best of all, it's free. And you can have as many domains as you'd like.
I'm using Myhosting.com for my Exchange e-mails. Used them since 2010 and have never had any issues at all with my e-mail.
I get viagra mails and such crap on hotmail, stay away.
I don't see how that's their fault. I never got any spam mails on mine, and if anything is considered spam it is moved to the Junk folder.
We have two options here, either :
1> You're lying
2> You don't really use outlook/hotmail.
When I used Outlook around 4 months ago, I got thousands of those spammy emails delivered straight to my inbox. If you have any real world insight on email providers, you'd know better than to support hotmails filtering system. Their spam protection system sucks, and everyone knows that. Please don't lie.
@dhamaniasad I have a free and a paid Outlook.com account, the free one have I had for years, it's a live.no address. Since 1. January 2014 I have got 13 spam mails on my account. Thats not thousands.
By thousands I don't mean thousands literally, you have to understand my frustration with that shitty email service when I say that. But yes, in the 4 months, I got at least 250 spam messages in my inbox. I don't know about their paid service, but their free one is the worst. THE WORST. I have never come across an email service that is so extremely idiotic at fighting spam. I've come to believe Microsoft makes money off those spam messages. I mean, a company with such a huge cash reserve should be able to solve this issue without problems, when companies that are 1000s of times smaller than them can do it. Which only leads to one logical solution, which is that Microsoft is deliberately not dealing with the spam problem.
I also want someone who is very likely to still be in business 10 years from now, who isn't going to have a security breach, who can provide a high degree of uptime, etc. I was someone that isn't going to vanish overnight. This leads me towards bigger players.
As a consumer those things are more important to me than ad parsing. Other people may have other priorities.
Pretty sure it isn't going anywhere and if you want someone who can never be breached well...may I suggest not using the internet
Just remember, with all of their infrastructure, how many products google has shut down. Nothing in life is guaranteed.
Rackspace
Why would I lie, it's not like I've got anything to prove. I have my own domain with Windows Live (Outlook), and I very rarely get any spam mails whatsoever.
I love how you assume that you know about other people's experiences with a service that you very obviously have some problems with. Just because you have problems with it doesn't mean I do. I would go as far as to say that Outlook is the best mail service I have used considering that I pay nothing.
Again, stop making it sound like it's a problem for everyone when in fact it isn't.
I use outlook.com for some things and to be honest never had much issue with spam getting through. Having said that I just seen an email about having a stronger erection in my outlook account, I wonder if they are checking my browsing habits...
Hosted Rackspace is pretty good. You have spam quarantine unlike the 'free' Outlook or free Google which just blackholes it. Kind of a useful thing for those pesky invoice reminders people send from dirty IPs.
You can also grab the Exchange online (E1/Kiosk) from Office 365. Totally different system from its outlook.com bretheren... pretty much full-up Exchange with its routing and mailbox controls.
