I'm going to plug fastmail. Rationale:

(1) tech support that actually reads your messages and replies with a solution demonstrating comprehension of the message that you wrote. Amazing. I've emailed them twice and gotten a great response both times.

(2) it is the best UI I've seen outside gmail;

(3) They have continued actively developing their UI, with nice updates released perhaps in the last 6 weeks.

(4) keyboard shortcuts that work

(5) Instead of inbox 0, I practice inbox 50k and it handles it fine.

(6) I just had a decade-anniversary there and I've never regretted it.

I think I'm over 20 years using Fastmail now? It just works. I've never had a single ounce of trouble with them. Their support is great. There are few products in life that I would recommend without question, and Fastmail is one of those. If only every company was this good.
