If e-mail is that important to someone then they should probably just run their own e-mail system, not rely on an ISP (it also allows you not to be dependant on any one ISP). I've been running my own server for many years, it costs me a few $ per a year for a dedicated VPS.

Running your own email server is less fun than cutting your own testicles off.

I've run the whole SMTP / POP3 / IMAP stuff in the past. Never again. Having to deal with the admins at Hotmail who decide to block entire IP address ranges for no reason just drove me insane.

For business email I now use Google G-suite (was formerly Google Apps for Work) or Office 365 and for transactional emails on my websites I use Amazon SES.

I'd rather pay someone else to do it than do it myself.
