I'm still using gmail because I estimated that the features and Android
integration are worth the creepyness for the time being, but I actually
wrote up a google exit plan for myself last time they made me nervous. (

Shared hosting is so cheap lately that just getting yourself a VPS and a
domain with a provider who has agreeable policies is cheaper than paying
for individual replacement services.  Most of them come with mail and your
choice of several pre-installed web frontends, which gives you basically as
much control and privacy as any solution, managed and pre-configured for
less hassle, and you get a vanity address and a machine dangling off the
web for other uses out of it.  I'm fairly satisfied with bluehost, largely
because I pre-paid three years so it came out to less than $5/mo for the
VPS and domain, but know people on other competitive services with slightly
different price and feature sets.
