I’ve moved mine off to Gandi.net where I had the domains. It is either included for free with your domain, or something like 1.5 EU/mo if you store a lot of email.
Easy on the Gandi.net side and on Macs. A complete pain on the iOS side. The accounts added on the Mac don’t come over to iOS for some reason like they do other Macs, then when you go to add them manually iOS won’t look to see which ports to use or mail servers so you have to enter all that, except you can’t do the port until later and when you do the device hangs at “verifying” until you turn off all internet access and turn it back on. (That’s a half day of research for free for you.) It’s an accepted defect by Apple, its been documented for years.
Also, moving is a pain. Google lets you export, but you lose your folder information. Apple on Mac lets you easily copy from one account to another, but that is a little strange since you have two accounts for the same email address and there have been catastrophic failures in the past from that. Also some of the special folders like “Archive” apparently can’t be copied for “reasons”. The work around is to “select all” in Archive and hope it doesn’t explode from the volume.
All in all, you are in for some pain. And pain raised to some exponent if you have non-technical users in your domain to support.
