Microsoft canning custom domains from Outlook.

[Null]

So, it looks like Microsoft are following Google in removing custom domain support from Outlook.

Another free option is Zoho.

I almost went with Outlook this time around, but some undying hate for Microsoft told me to keep looking. Thank goodness.

If you currently use custom domains with Outlook.com

We will continue to support the ability to log in to Outlook.com with your existing custom domain email address, but in the future, you will no longer be able to add or remove accounts in your domain.

Glad I've got all mine already set up! I already have a subscription to Office365 for home. Would cost me £40 extra per year to change to business if I really wanted to.

Zoho (http://www.zoho.com) actually has quite a few nice free services, haven't tried the mail service yet.

I have a bunch of Google Apps accounts from before they did away with the paid version, so I just add domains to one of those accounts when I need them .

Same here, I got the original beta account with 2000 users limit. I can add unlimited domains to it.
