I love Google Apps for e-mail but the service is not free any more. Recently I have a requirement from one of my friend to setup a email service for his start
up company. His requirements are pretty simple so we started with windows live domains a free email service from Microsoft which gives 500 email accounts for free.
It worked out very well also it's very simple to get started.
How to set up Windows Live domains for your Email:
- you need to register with micro-soft for regular Email this will be used for registering with live domains you can register at outlook.com

- Now click add domain and add your domain name.
- Go to domain settings section and copy the MX server code in the section titled Prove domain ownership.
