Although my primary email is Gmail, I recently had the need to get an email for a domain name I own. Since Google stopped offering free custom domain emails, I gave Outlook.com a try.

I was pleasantly surprised. Things seem to make a lot of sense and I like their metro/flat design on the web, easy on the eye.

If you are bored of the new UI changes to Gmail, I'd suggest you check out Outlook.com as an alternative.
