    Up til now I've used Google's service to manage my mail but I see they've now started charging for new accounts.

    What's my best option now? I don't really care about having a proper webmail box as I want it all forwarded to my personal email anyway (Gmail will then let me send mail using that alias.

    I'm using http://mail.zoho.com/ for the time being but it seems to take an age to forward my mail.

    Are there any 3rd party sites I can use to do this or will I have to set up my own mailserver (Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS).

    There are plenty of mail providers out there, the majority of them charge. You don't get anything for free- so if it is free then you are the product. If it's just 1 mailbox, don't bother setting up your own mail server - You'll pay with electricity.

    Google apps supports aliases if it's just one login you need.

    If you want full control then set up your own server with perhaps something like OpenChange, Roundcube or install Zentyal (which is based on Ubuntu - Neat system too).

    I pay for a dedicated server anyway.

    Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS - I said in my OP although looking back it wasn't very clear.

    Using Postfix with virtual hosts it's pretty easy to setup forwarding
