domains.live.com

Another Windows Live service shipped this week, http://domains.live.com. From the site

Already own your own Internet domain name?

Have us host e-mail and IM for you in a domain you already own.
  • Create up to 20 e-mail accounts within your domain
  • Get a 250 MB inbox for each account*
  • Check your e-mail from any Web-enabled PC
  • Junk e-mail filter protection using Microsoft SmartScreen technology
  • Virus scanning and cleaning of e-mail
  • Seamless access with MSN Messenger, MSN Spaces, etc.

    • This is a pretty cool service and one I've been wanting for a while. Now I can provide @25hoursaday.com email addresses for myself and others without actually having to host a mail server. Sign me up, baby.

    Not interested. From the site:
    "How do my users check their e-mail?
    To send and receive e-mail from any of the accounts in your domain, your users have to go to www.hotmail.com and sign in with the username and temporary password you created for them."

    "Can I use Microsoft Outlook® or Microsoft Outlook Express® to check my e-mail?
    These services are available by purchasing Hotmail Plus® service available at http://join.msn.com."

    Add over the air ActiveSync for Windows Mobile and I'll try it ;-)

    Hi Dare, just curious - are you using a web host now, and if so don't they already provide you that? Or is this geared specifically toward people who have their own web server installed, and this removes the mail server work for them? Sorry if this is a dumb question...

    Whoopsie-daisy - didn't expect my email addy to be displayed. Could you kindly remove that? Thanks!

    I can't believe no one has done this before. Kudos to Microsoft on this one.

    Mike, if you're not interested, then don't use it.

    Kazey, we should at least see what happens before making that assumption.
