I've recently moved my hosted e-mail from Rackspace to Gmail.
The main reason was I could only have a minimum of 5 accounts @ £1.5 + VAT each with Rackspace, so it was costing me almost £9 a month. I only really needed my mattwservices account hosted with a 3rd party, as that is where all my monitoring e-mails go to, so I need it to be online in case anything was to happen to the servers.
Gmail allows the hosted e-mail for a single account for £3.30 a month (£2.75 per month if you pay 12 months in advance).
So, I'm all converted, and their import tool worked great, so I didn't loose a single e-mail in the process.
