Dont use Hotmail but am surprised that any major player wouldn't provide IMAP.Originally posted by SimonMac View PostChanging my email and reveretd to a back up Live email account for the time being and it doesn't allow IMAP, getting my arse back to GMAIL asap it seems!
Just did a quick Google on how to get IMAP with Hotmail and one of the 'solutions' made me chuckle, It was titled 'Use IMAP with your Hotmail account!!' and the solution was effectively 1. Set up Gmail account 2. Set your Hotmail account to forward to the new Gmail account 3. Set up your mail application connected via IMAP to the Gmail account. You now have Hotmail IMAP!

If you are looking for a good provider though, I migrated MyCo and my Plan B's to Google Apps for Business (the paid one) a while back and its been great.Comment

I must admit their new outlook.com which is replacing Hotmail/Live looks quite good, but nothing to stop me transferring my new domain to google appsOriginally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?

Has anyone used Office 365 with multiple domains?
Its price looks comparable with what I pay for Google Apps but the MS Office integration within 365 vs Google Docs etc looks tempting (never really liked Google docs, had too many Office docs with formatting issues within it)
Plans & pricing
Google Apps manages multiple domains but not as i'd like, meaning i've had to take out multiple accounts to hold individual Plan B's.
EDITED - Actually, just looked and Google Apps CAN now handle non-aliased domains properly so I'll change the question to does anyone use Office 365 full stop and is it decent?Last edited by Durbs; 1 August 2012, 11:59.Comment
