Looking for opinions on email providers

[Steven]

Apparently I am late to hearing this, but in the near future Cox will 
have Yahoo take over handling all "cox.net" email accounts. I've 
occasionally in the past looked at email providers but never felt much 
need to move. But as long as this is going to be happening anyway I 
figure it's time to look again. Does anyone have a preferred email 
provider? I made use of Cox formerly offering up to six email accounts 
on a single residential plan to set up an account for my sister, this 
account, and a couple others. Are there reasonably trustworthy providers 
that don't scan all your emails in order to push ads on you and that 
don't don't cost an arm and a leg?
