Email addresses @mydomain.com
I'm trying to help someone set up a couple email addresses with person'[email protected]. Previously I just used Google Apps, which would let you set up 10 for free, but it looks like about a month ago they started charging $50/year per user just like the Business one. Is there still some easy way to set it up for free on a decent platform, or should I tell them to suck it up and pay our Google overlords the money?

Zoho offers 3 users for free.
More than 7 Million users Work Online with Zoho Also I guess Microsoft offers Windows Live Mail for free up to a point for domains. https://domains.live.com/?wa=wsignin1.0 |

Yeah, Microsoft Live was the one I'm checking on... I don't see why I can't set it up over there and forward any emails sent to those addresses on to their personal gmail accounts (or a different one they set up) if they hate the Hotmail interface that much. I guess I was just surprised google apps started charging and didn't think it through.

I thought google apps were only charging new users.
I just buy a domain name and forward the emails to my gmail account. You can configure gmail so that the correct address appears as the "reply to" address. |

But if the person doesn't have a Google Apps account you still need somewhere to host the domain... even with forwarding. |

With email forwarding I usually just set everything up on the domain name company's online dashboard. The only time I ever hosted the domain for email was when I was setting up about a dozen addresses, and it was easier to do it that way. |
