An InfoWorld story this morning talks about some fun extensions that have been made available for Live Mail users in India.

Users of the Live Mail service in India can now choose from hundreds of domain names for their email address, and then opt to receive all mail to a single mailbox for all the addresses that they have.

From the Article;

Users can go to www.coolhotmail.com, choose from the custom domains listed, and sign up for the new e-mail address through Windows Live. A user can, for example, have an e-mail address such as mahesh@coolaquarius.in or mahesh@chennairocks.in or mahesh@leavemealone.in. The e-mail address is also a Windows Live ID, which can also be used to access instant messaging and other services on the MSN and Windows Live network, Microsoft said.

The service has been launched first in India, with plans to introduce it in other markets as well, according to Samir Saraiya, product head for Windows Live Services at Microsoft India.

On a similar note, those of you who have looked a little more closely at this site will have noticed that I’m using a related service that allows me to make my own domain name available to Live Mail, then offer anybody an address @osrin.net. 

If you are interested to see how the domain binding works then take a look at the Live Domains service management interface, it is a really easy way to set up a common domain name for the family or for a group of friends.
