It’s finally here: Microsoft officially launched a premium-grade Outlook.com email service in the U. S. that omits ads, provides five inboxes and (hurray!) supports personalized addresses.
Microsoft today officially launched a premium-grade Outlook.com email service in the U. S. that omits ads, provides five inboxes and supports personalized addresses.
The service, labeled “Outlook.com Premium,” had been branded “Preview” until today, according to the Thurrott.com blog , which had been tracking its progress for almost a year.
Outlook.com Premium appeared to target both small businesses and families with the five user accounts and the personalized address. The domain name for the latter will be free for the first year, Microsoft said, and those who already own a domain could use it with the email service free of charge.
As with the consumer-oriented “Ad-free Outlook.com,” a $20 per year deal that scrubs advertisements from the service, Outlook.com Premium also erases ads from the five inboxes.
