free server works best with outlook. Also require large storage
capacity.

You model is lacking quite a few specifics there. Are you going to be
dong the work yourself? Are you locked into M$ or would you prefer a
truly free and safe from VIRUS/MALEWARE mail server. Let me know
and I can get you started. I have set up several fully functional
FreeBSD/Postfix/Dovecot servers with an array of AV and filtering
services.

Storage is simply a matter of disk space.

Since you don't have the initiative to test various free e-mail servers or
even look for them. it is unlikely that you don't have the expertise to
install and manage an e-mail server. Stick to using an e-mail service
provider who does have the expertise and resources to operate and manage an
e-mail server.

If what you really meant to ask is which free e-mail provider is best for
business use that would be none of them. They are free which means you
don't get support, bandwidth, reliable service, and no announcements or even
a status check of outages or downed servers. If you really meant "business"
and not some tinkering hobby, you need to look at business-class e-mail
providers. Those aren't free. If your business is just a tinkering or
starting hobby then any free e-mail provider will do. Just go Google on
"+free +email" and you'll find lots of them. Then read their FAQs to
determine if they have the e-mail access protocol you want to use (POP
versus IMAP), the disk quota you want, and have any anti-abuse or anti-spam
quotas which you "business" might violate in sending out spam, er, bulk
e-mails. Also make sure you read their Terms Of Service to ensure that you
do not violate their terms for them providing you with a free service.

Is this you really meant:

"it is unlikely that you don't have the expertise to
install and manage an e-mail server. "

You've had too many easter eggs!!
