Outlook is a mail client...

Are you looking for a mail provider that will allow you to get your mail using outlook? Give gmail a shot.

Actually, after using the web interface a bit, you might not want to use outlook anymore.

Gmail

Sign up for an account, then go in Gmail Setting and set it up so your mail will redirect to Outlook, then you set Outlook up to recieve it.

Here's instructions for Outlook Express and Gmail: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13276

And here's instructions for Office Outlook and Gmail:

I had that setup. My only gripe was that very occasionally I would get a message marked as spam incorrectly and moved to the Gmail spam folder. And because I was using a mail client I didn't know about it unless I signed into Gmail.

Hotmail/live mail supports outlook. AOL's mail(which is now free) does as well.

Personaly I would say gmail as it seems to be one of the better free email services. Have it setup to use outlook on my notebook. Works well.

The only free one I know of is gmail. I haven't tried the paid hotmail because gmail works well for me.
