I've sent at most 10-20 mails per hour (not huge I know), however, if you
don't mind me spamming you I'll try 100 or however many you'd like :)

I think I'll look into zoho (just in case I run into any problems with
mail.com).

I use their https:// site when logging in via web browser and I use
STARTTLS for smtp and pop.
I sometimes check for mail every minute, which they don't seem to mind.
As for privacy, AFAIK, all email accounts are vulnerable via any of the
worlds spying organizations. So, you'd do best to use GPG.
As for spam getting through, well amazon send me adverts constantly, and
sometimes I get an offer for a bank transfer, or one of the other new
spam/fishing/malware attacks. I use spamassassin, it works very well.

Sincerely,
David
