There are lots' of companies that do email hosting, but you mentioned
she is 'tech challenged'. In this case, they should NOT be looking for
a large hosting company.
She should find a local hosting provider, someone that she can pick up
the phone and call, but of course you get what you pay for.
If she is looking for 'free' or 'cheap', she won't be happy.
And most email hosting providers, aren't in the business of looking for
the small one or two mailbox accounts, hard to make money and provide
good service. Unfortunately that means that usually the only providers
that will make it easy, are the ones that go for complete 'automated'
signup, and automated support.
And it depends what they want. If they WANT o365 capabilities, then
probably they should go to o365. If they want simple, secure email then
there are LOT's of companies in this space. Even sometimes their own
ISP might offer the ability to host their own domain, depending on the
connectivity package they purchased. I would start there for the
technically challenged ;)

All,
I know someone who is setting up a business domain, and needs an inbox host.
Her registrar/webhost is GoDaddy and they are discontinuing their free hosted
email, and referring people to paid Office365. It seems that all of the general
info out there points to either 365 or Gmail. Surely there must be others out
there? Anybody have one they recommend? Bonus if they help with
authentication setup because she is ..um...tech challenged.
Thanks!
Anne
