I'm using Binero.se with their basic hosting plan - email has worked 
just fine for me. Used Loopia.se previously (many years ago) but on a 
couple of occasions they screwed up email handling and didn't inform 
customers about what was happening etc so I'm staying away from them.

As for moving emails, I've done it the simple way: in my email client 
I've just dragged the emails from the account I had with one provider to 
the account I have with the other provider. The only time I've had 
problems with this is when moving to/from gmail (which is one reason why 
I'm staying away from them also).
