Free Email Hosting For Custom Domains
Hello, I am currently looking for an alternative to Microsoft's free Email Hosting platform that lets you use your domain for the end of your email address.
For example: [email protected] is hosted over at Microsoft's servers. They offer this all for free, however, I find it a bit frustrating that I cannot reset the passwords for the accounts I create under the @gridhostingsolutions.com domain. So, to reset the password, I simply remove the email account and then re-add it. However, Microsoft is becoming more strict on this and is not allowing us to re-create the accounts.
Is there any free custom Email hosting solutions for domains? I know Google used to have it for free, am I wrong? Please paste a link below to free ones. Thanks!

Up to 1000 mailboxes, also can host your DNS zone. Though administrative interface is only in russian.
@dazedandconfused Hmm, I'll have to take a look at that. I have recently stumbled upon http://inbox.com
inbox.com will work, however, for their free plan there are ads on the outgoing emails on the footer. anyone else know of any free ones?
Gmail lets you use your own domain also.
Not free anymore since December 2012, but if you added a domain at google apps before it stopped being free, you can still use it for free.
inbox.com has ADs in outgoing email from both SMTP and webmail.
Currently I have been using with:
Gandi.net, when you transfer domain to them, you get a 5 email accounts package with 1GB of storage totally.
Yandex.ru, great IMAP experience, the webmail can be setup to english.
Zoho.com, good email hosting, but can setup only 3 accounts for free.
25mail.st
@klikli I said free.
Apart from US and Russia, are any free providers located in any other country?
i think zoho mail can do that for free
Postfix + Dovecot are both FOSS

free email hosting provided by Microsoft Hotmail. It's something similar like Google Apps Domain
Cool, a provider that can't even afford email hosting.
lol some people don't even read OP's post and post anyway.
Postfix.
@awson I can most certainly afford it, it's just that I want something free very similar to Microsoft's free plan, which has great features. Why pay for something I can get for free?

READ OP.
OP said he wanted to move away from that.
@johnlth93 zoho sucks
I currently use Zoho and it's great and uptime hasn't been a problem.
Sorry guys.... I didn't read the OP in a proper way and posted in a hurry. Apologies!!!
25mail.st is from Rimuhostings. It's a New Zealand based company. I have used them. Not sure if you guys have heard about Zonomi DNS hosting... which is part of Rimuhosting. When I was using 25mail.st.... they were providing 5 mailboxes free. But now... it's just 1 mailbox free and additional mailboxed US$0.50/mnth.
You can try them out... they are really good.
We use Zoho free.
Some said so, but i never really used it so can't really comment on it.
Though it "seem" fine. From what i can see of a glimpse at least
I use yandex
the panel is only in Russian but it's easily translated by Chrome
And, there are lots of them in China.
QQ.com
163.com
sohu.com
sina.com
All have free domain email hosting.
+1 on Zoho.
Zoho is the best
@Jeffrey Not to derail the thread, but I'm curious: Why not roll your own postfix+dovecot+spamassassin primary and backup MX scheme as suggested by a few others in this thread? Is it cost prohibitive? Or is it simply a matter of offloading the headache of running your own mail server to an outside provider?
Zarafa is a good replacement if you are tired maintaining your own setup. It is a replacement for exchange server, with support for outlook ( outlook support for 3 users in free edition). It is awesome for what it is..
