Use of own domain name with Office 365 Home/Premium

Anonymous

I cannot seem to find out whether I can add my own private domain, i.e. not a business user, but I own a personalised domain, with Office 365 Home Premium.

In other words, I would like to use ******@mydomain.com instead of ******@outlook.com.

I know you can do this with Office 365 for Business, but need to know whether this can be done with Home Premium.

Thanks

Chris

    Hi Nayana,

    Thank you for getting back.

    Yes, I would like to send/receive emails with my personalised domain instead of @outlook.com.  At the moment, my personal domain's email is hosted on Google and in from my Outlook.com mailbox, I am fetching those emails from Google since I prefer to use Outllook.com and I have a paid Office 365 Home Premium subscription.  The current setup works, but rather complicated and I need to keep using my Gmail account.

    So what needs to be done is similar to Office 365 Business (which I use at work) where you could add a domain to Office 365 Home Premium.  Then change my DNS MX records to point to Microsoft instead of Google servers.

    Thanks

    Chris

    Thank you for the update.

    If you would like to use your domain email address (Gmail account) to send/receive emails in Outlook then you may configure it in Outlook either as POP3 or IMAP account in Outlook 2013.

    You may follow the article provided below which provides detailed information on how to setup Internet email account in Outlook 2013:

    Let us know the results to assist you further.

    Thank you.

    Hi Nayana,

    I am already downloading or forwarding my other emails to Outlook or Outlook.com.

    My original question was whether I can add a personalised domain to Office 365 Home Premium, i.e. I want to use ******@mydomain.com instead of ******@outlook.com

    Thanks

    Chris

    Hi Nayana,

    I am still without a solution so I would appreciate any help on this matter, or simply whether Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium supports this configuration.  BTW Google does!

    Thanks
