    This may be helpful. For anyone not ready to use 360 you can still get a custom domain email using Hosted Outlook Exchange at the InternetDirectSolution.com site. While this isn’t free like Outlook.com, you currently receive a free download copy of MS Outlook when you sign up for the service. They also have 24/7 telephone support if you need help configuring the service so it is like having a free IT department.
