Does a personalised name work with Outlook Express? What servers etc should be used?

Yes, you configure the POP3 and SMTP servers to that of the provider - if you used Purple Cloud it would be: -
mail-dublin.purplecloud.com
smtp-dublin.purplecloud.com

[Or whatever server they offer]

Tick the authentication box and away you go - you are then divorced from any ISP for an email address.

Thanks - who would you recommend as an ISP if I went for my own domain name? Also, can multiple accounts be created ie one for me, the wife, kids etc?

Thanks again

NPA, just to be clear here - your ISP and email provider are different, so when you ask: -

I assume you mean, which email provider would offer the above? Because if not, you are again tied to your ISP. To summarise: your ISP will give you the ability to get internet access, but your email provider will give you email access when you are on the internet - sorry if this sounds complicated, but it's really very simple.

Use Purple Cloud if you so wish, as they will offer your domain name and the email package.

If you need any further unravelling, feel free to PM me and we can chat off board.

I think most of your questions have been answered in this thread, but Purple Cloud are one of many; 1&1 plus others - do a search for UK email providers and many come up.

NewNet are a very good ISP; one of the few remaining in my opinion.
