Running OL2007 under Vista Home Premium SP2.

I'm switching my ATT service to Quest, and I'll need a new domain for my
address. I've seen that using msn.com, being an IMAP (sp?) server, requires
the use of Outlook Connector (no problem there), but it also denies the true
recipient name in the Sent Items listing -- a nuisance.

There are a lot of domain names I can choose from, including msn, hotmail,
live, q (for Quest) and others. Can someone suggest one that is not an IMAP
server, thereby avoiding the Sent Items problem? Barring that, would you
care to tell me which is your favorite and why?

Thanks for your help.

Microsoft offers a lovely option in hosted Exchange. Something you might
want to look into. That's a professional solution with your own domain
name and a fully featured web interface to your life.

I use Gmail with a custom SMTP server set to my domain name. No one I
send mail to knows I use Gmail for it. :) Most web hosts offer IMAP and
SMTP to their customers.

My recommendation is to get your own domain. It's professional and
inexpensive.
