I use riseup. My current storage quota -- which I believe would be
yours, were you to sign up -- is 92 MB. Riseup says the storage
quota fluctuates a bit and might go up in the future. I think you
can also request a higher quota if you have good reasons. Since I
mostly POP everything out, the quota doesn't cause me trouble. Maybe
it would if I suddenly became famous/notorious while in an extended
coma, receiving a zillion Twitter auto-emails notifying me of new
followers. :) :(

My attachment limit is 2 MB, which is reckoned per email -- I assume
it'd be the same for you. The attachment limit presents something of
a difficulty for me, a freelance writer, since big .DOCs and .PDFs
can exceed 2 MB. But clients can deal with workarounds.

Never seen an ad on Riseup (of course, I use adblockers). I don't
know if there's a size limit for incoming attachments.

I don't think they offer premium services, but I could be wrong.
It's free with donations strongly encouraged.

One good way to donate to Riseup is through Flattr!
https://flattr.com/thing/523584/Donate-to-Riseup  With Flattr you can
shoot Riseup a micro-donation via a flattr click, a recurring
subscription of flattr clicks, or just send a straightforward
donation up to your monthly Flattr donation limit, which as of this
May is EUR150.
Thanks Douglas, very helpful. The approx. 92 MB storage isn't much problem. Yes, 2 MB is tiny. I suppose IF they really don't log IPs or data, that's what you're paying for (if that's important), rather than free providers that gather data & sell it. I just have a health suspicion of a TINY % of companies in *any* industry that say, "/we're different than all the rest/." Riseup may be, but usually in sum total, most companies in an industry are similar. One will cut a little here, but add it back somewhere else.
If the U.S. gov't allowed them not to keep ANY records, _every terrorist_ in this country & many others would be flocking to Riseup. Or maybe that's the plan. Since it's unlikely they'll allow that... anymore than they'd allow 1 or 2 phone Co's. NOT to keep records or build phone systems that couldn't be wire tapped. 

BTW, did send Riseup support a question about their limits.
