I would stay away from the big commercial systems (Google, Office 365), 
which, despite being widely used, tend to have the most issues and don't 
have your best interest in mind. Additionally, they tend to have the 
most technically inferior systems, for whatever reason; most independent 
mail providers and open source mail servers often far better functionality.

My personal recommendation would be PurelyMail for something cheap and 
temporary - only $10 a year. I have one account through them that 
somebody else pays for it (since I can self host email, I don't believe 
in paying for email, period). Nothing but good things to say about them 
and if you have issues, it's easy to get support.

I've also heard good things about Fastmail, probably the most popular 
independent mail provider, though I have no personal experience (and it 
costs $60 a year, as opposed to $10).
