I already own three domain names.  The providers are all moving away
from the one free email address to MS Exchange/Office 365 hosted email.
 The namecheap option seems to be just fine, I only have to change the
MX records and it's $11/year after the sale price expires.

Of course $20/week is not cheap. ;)
