Mike, thanks for the info on simplymailsolutions.

Yes, I also use Google Apps for Business; it works quite well. The reason to go outside of Google is that I need at least one solid external account to use as a backup address for Google (e.g. lost password, etc) and also to diversify (!).

Just a comment about simplymailsolutions. I had an IMAP account with
them 2 or 3 years ago and found that it was very slow if you set your
MUA (Thunderbird in my case) to check more than 2 or 3 folders. Their
support were helpful but couldn't identify any issues at their end
(despite other IMAP servers I was using being fine). They have most
likely upgraded their infrastructure since then but thought I'd
mention it anyway.

I personally use Google Apps for Business now for my domain which has
worked extremely well (and allows some in my family to continue using
Outlook for mail/calendar/contacts :) )

Mike
