Hey ppl,

Microsoft just released this, so it might be good time to get a decent email address.

I never got a decent one with gmail or hotmail, so always had stupid account names, haha.
his time I managed to get firstname.lastname@outlook.com

Maybe of interest to you guys!

Get in while they last.....

Heard about this but didn't think it was live yet. Guess that means I've got 4 Microsoft accounts and 6 Google accounts now

If you go to Settings > More Mail Settings > Create an Outlook Alias you can reserve a few other nice email aliases that all receive mail into the same account/mailbox which is nice. I've got about 6 addresses with various formats for names + initials since I haven't made my mind up yet, most are aliases that already belong to me in Gmail so just protecting those like you would with a domain name.

If you dig around there are some other decent settings, so that you can send mail from Outlook.com as a Gmail address (after verification), plus all the usual forwarding and POP settings.
