   I have my own server and my own domains - so I can't really recommend   
   anything (and no, my services are not for free ;-)). But so far GMX also   
   worked quite well for me.   
      
   But wait - in  you mentioned that don't   
   use a permanent Google account but change it frequently - "Then, over   
   time, periodically I deleted them (once every few months).".   
      
   But when you want to use a pemanent email service at Google - isn't it   
   much easier to have just *one* Google account for everything? I do since   
   I also publish Apps and use the web developer tools to check if there is   
   any issue with my websites and it would be quite cumbersome if I would   
   have to login with a number of different Google accounts all the time.   
      
   And seriously: If you don't trust Google, then don't use their services.   
   Or do you encrypt all the e-mail you exchange with others?
