Try Zoho, that is, zoho.com. 

So far, they've been pretty good to me, as far as free emails go. There were a 
few bumps getting started, but their support staff was helpful, and I haven't 
had any issues in five years or more. 

Now, it may be that they are changing, too. I haven't kept up with all the 
latest news. Usually I get my emails through Kmail, so I don't know about 
changes online, to their website or policies. When last I logged in by a 
webpage, it seemed that some of their domains were no longer available, but I 
didn't spend much time investigating. 

I believe that Zoho has all those features you mention. If I remember 
correctly, they are based in India.
