[Novalug] Hosted email services gmail alternative

Asking for a friend who is fed up with the lack of spam and junk mail
filtering from his local service provider (Earthlink and another outfit in
Yonkers NY area, Optimum).  He's considering switching to Gmail, but is put
off by the data mining risks and being fully dependent on them.

I recall prior discussions of hosted email services (or the email addresses
and basic web service you get when you register a domain with some folks);
I'd like suggestions and recommendations I can then pass along.  Major
criteria are robust junk/spam/malware email filtering, ability to tweak the
settings to taste, demonstrated respect for the customer's privacy (no data
mining for use or to sell to 3rd parties), and cost.  Work with web and
Outlook as email client (he'd have to switch from a decade+ of
sophisticated astrophotography hobbying, so he's not changing OS.  He's
sufficiently technical that he can remove the training wheels on a hosting
service).

Thanks in advance for suggestions & thoughts.

Steve
