BTW I have just secured several GOOD @outlook.com email addresses
perfect for promos. all will be simply redirected.
"perfect for promos" ???? i'm interested on what basis? just create a new email address for the domain in question promo@ 2012@ discount@
how hard is th@t?
i believe you keep it all within your control and forget about these free email thingys
even today i was setting up google maps, youtube, analytics etc for a client and i didn't start a google account , i create
google@domain.com.au . this way all the info comes in and gets filed in that accoutn on there outlook or whatever.
this business will have changing staff over the years so at least everything is being recorded and backup in one email folder, it you were to use tony@ then when tony leaves its a mess especially after tony leaves and replaced by sharon, combine that with bigpond deciding to go with hotmail but hotmail deciding to change to outlook and GOD KNOWS next year your email address that started out as
findtim@hotmail.com has become " i couldn't get tim because they changed domains and some F'r went and got it before so now i am " ...... findtim24932@hotmail
you'll notice there is no .com as they bought the extension so that has been removed.
BUT hey , i am a business and i have only had to REPRINT my business cards 8 times in the last 4 years as some numbnut in the USA keeps changing his mind ! thankfully i have a bonefire out the back so i can burn the unused business cards.
BUT HEY, thats ok they told me i didn't have to change and it would all be diverted to the new address BUT THEN when i reply the person gets it from findtim@hotmail and their computer has never seen that before so it throws it into the junkmail, BUGGER as i replied with an attachment that was my INVOICE that i need paid ASAP so i can feed my kids.
LOL, what a rank but it was just flowing LOL

"perfect for promos" , so how then when they move the email address are you going to TAP into that promo database you created? do it all again, move it all over in a CSV file , and what % will go into the trash bin, spam folder?

don't waste time on outlook.com email address, waste time on getting a good email marketing system and learning it.
NOTE: i mean NO offence, this S&*T just kept following so i just kept typing.
