Depending on your friends situation, they should consider getting office365. It's like $15 a month I think, let's you add a custom address (I think including a simple option to buy a domain inside the office365 environment), and it has all of MS office as well. If your friend really just needs email there are cheaper options, but if they are paying for an office suite, it's not a bad deal imo (I use it with my domain from Namecheap and it walks you though exactly how to set it up with a domain you already own. It should be possible even for someone nontechnical)
