I currently am using Gmail for my email hosting however the free plan that I was using for several years is about to be going away and replaced with a $6 a month per user account.  With me only using email this isn't worth it for me to keep Gmail. 

Is Zoho a good alternative and has anyone else done a migration from another provider like this?  Also is there a browser widget like the Google Mail Checker that I could use to auto login to my Zoho email to check it while browsing from my work computer?
