A couple of days ago I wrote about Google removing their free version of Google Apps. So on the face of things there is no way for you to use your own email domain yet have all the benefits of Gmail.

I think it’s safe to say that most people moved away from Hotmail in favour of Gmail, mainly because of the abysmal spam filtering system that Hotmail uses. I personally use Google Apps for all of my email accounts – personal, RefuGeeks & DroidHQ. It’s an excellent system, so when I heard that Microsoft are doing away with Hotmail and are replacing it with Outlook.com –... »
