One such service is mailkeep.net -- I'm a satisfied customer.
(You pay them money and point your MX record(s) at their server(s), and
they offer a variety of ways to let you pick up your mail. The nicest
option IMHO is to use ODMR: when your connection goes down, they store
the mail for you and you use ODMR [on-demand mail relay -- basically
SMTP ETRN for dynamic IPs] to ping their server, at which point it
flushes its queue over the ODMR connection and starts sending all
further mail to you immediately via SMTP. They can connect to an SMTP
server on any port, not just port 25, so you can dodge your ISP this
way.)
