Move from Office 365 to outlook.com - Email and calendar - Office 365

Hi, I am coming to the end of my Office 365 trial and i have decided that it isnt for me. I have a custom domain and associated email address and i dont want to lose it so i want to move it to a hotmail/outlook.com account. Do i have to remove my domain from office 365 before i can then add it to hotmail/outlook.com? is this straight forward to do? I have my hosting(?) with melbourne IT.

I also have a wp7 and xbox and i have read horror stories of people losing xboxlive gold/zune subsciptions, am i in danger of doing this as my liveid is my email address?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I setup a new outlook.com account but i couldnt get me Melbourne IT registration to link to it. I had the MX records but it needed an A record to point to it. I looked all over and tried anything but i couldnt get it to work.

However, i notice the my old hotmail account left over from Office Small business, or what ever i was using before office 365, which originally had my domain on it was receiving the emails to it. So i am using this now and it is working fine, i have the free email that iwanted using my domain, but it isnt the new outlook.com interface, but i dont mind.

It worked out OK in the end.
