What is you're preferred email provider when using the iPhone.

I have always been a Hotmail user for about 10 years now and i used to use HTTPMail to access my account through Mail.

When i bought my iPhone I was really disappointed that this no longer worked and I ended up going the IzyMail route.

After 6 months use, and finding IzyMail absolutely rubbish, I decided move to Gmail and forward my Hotmail messages during this transition period.

Now I want to ask everyone which provider they most like/prefer?

I would love a 'push' service, but most importantly, I want something reliable and quick. Have I made the right choice?
 
I used to use hotmail until I got the iPhone because I realized there isn't an account for it. So I setup a yahoo and gmail account and use them both.
 
Gmail.

I also have my own server with IMAP enabled, but the problem is, spam filtering on the server is garbage. There are 3 separate spam handlers and they let through dozens of spams a day, unless I set the filter so strict that half my personal correspondence ends up junked.

I've been with 3 different hosting companies, and Spam Assassin and similar spam stuff they typically use work terribly, in my experience. Gmail is almost 100% correct.
