I currently have my own domain name that I would like to use for email. I am tired of using free hosts for email providers. By using my own domain I don't have to worry about a company shutting down, advertisments, or fee increases.

My question is... Does anyone know a reliable domain host that will host my domain for email only? I am looking for a host for a low yearly fee that will just let me use POP email for the domain. I only need 1 or 2 addresses. I don't need any web space just email.

Anyone have any ideas?

Yahoo is now offering this service for $10/yr.

I took a quick gander at that Yahoo site. Do you know if it offers POP access?

Hmmm... Good question. I don't know, and I don't see any details about it on the site.

There are a bunch of companies out there that do this (we're among them), but a lot of them cater to larger companies with many 'seats'.
That being said, find a solution based on Cyrus; in our experience, this is the most robust solution out there, and allows for BOTH POP3 _AND_ IMAP.

I a few domains registered with http://www.catalog.com For $35 domain registration fee per year, I get a small 20MB web hosting accoumt, one email pop account, and one email forwarding address. I checked their upgrade options, they charge $9.95/month for 10 additional email accounts. They do not place banners on incoming/outgoing emails. However, I have no information on the size of the email account.
