Is there any free alternative similar to google App's email service for families and friends group? answer is "NO", since google app's reduced free accounts initially from unlimited to 200, 200 to 100, 100 to 50 and finally now from 50 to 10, i started googling for alternate players though i 
expected there would be someone far better such as Microsoft or Yahoo i was surprised to know no one offered free email service like google did which has the complete cloud such as docs, contacts, calendar, chats etc not just email.
I have been using Google app's for my family domain from past 4 years and i have around 200 users limit and i have filled up around 24, recently one of my friend wanted to setup a similar kind of custom domain for his family and all of them have Android and other smart phones but unfortunately he wanted 18 accounts for his entire family but with the new limitation posed he was unable to do so since buying a premier edition for family is not worth it because most of his family members are non geeks and they just want EMAIL and Rarely Calendar nothing else and he was cribbing to have purchased a domain earlier and set it up...
I think google should increase the limit atleast to 25 for standard users it will be very useful for people with midsized family.
When google allows people to create unlimited email accounts for free on gmail then why they have reduced the limit to such a low number on its google apps? when it is similar and no different from regular gmail except people will have their own domain extension and can choose to create email accounts with their first name and also don't mind ad's in their inbox webpage lately i realized google is purely moving into commercializing everything and is not sticking to their original slogan "Don't be evil" its more or less evil now a days with their rigid policies.
what ever it is i suggested my friend other cheap and best alternatives though not best and par with Google they do offer a decent service such as from Bigrock email hosting service where they charge just 4$/per-month for 50 accounts with 2GB space with pop/imap and even contact sync which is more than enough for a family email solution.
