email problems

I'm having severe email trouble; I couldn't download email from my wybesse.net POP server this morning, and for the longest time I couldn't get through on webmail either.

This is not the first time they've had trouble providing a basic service, so I'm contemplating a domain registration and hosting change. I notice that my provider's current "standard" package is both cheaper and much more generous than the one I signed up for (they're now offering 2GB storage and 50 GB transfer for $9/month; I'm still paying $10/month for 10MB--yes, that's MB--storage and 500MB transfer), but they've never mentioned it to me or offered to change my package to meet their current rates. snolan mentioned one provider recently who he's switching to; anyone else have services they'd recommend?
