answer is no, you can't use it with Outlook.

There's always yahoo. I'm really shocked you can't get google in the UK.
I'm sure there are a bunch of others as well.

certainly can - needs an invitation AFAIK -
to the OP - if in the UK you can sign up for a Yahoo UK email account which
(AFAIK) can still be accessed by Outlook.....
