The last 6-8 months have been pretty hectic for me, both at work and with other "real life" stuff and I've noticed, as a result, that my email handling has really suffered. I can't even say it's begun to suffer because it's entirely snowballed to the point where my inbox is insane.

A friend of mine has moved his domains over to Google mail, which can now do full domain support for email amongst their other appliances. Standard edition is free, but the premier edition is fairly pricy ($50USD per year per email account).
