Can I return to the Hotmail account?

How can I go back to Hotmail from Outlook?  a question that many people have done, since a few weeks ago, Microsoft announced the final migration of all Hotmail accounts that were maintained even without upgrading to Outlook mail, although many users remained together to their Hotmail accounts, for better or worse we have to say goodbye to Hotmail forever. But we’ve researched a little more about this.

Since it was released in draft form, to all persons who possessed an email in Hotmail we got an email inviting us to use the previous version of the new email service

Outlook, some persons opted to try it right away (in fact were more than one million who started to using Outlook in its first day of release) but some might expect accustomed at the Hotmail interface and for not know in detail what Outlook has offered.

Go back to Hotmail from Outlook email.

One of the functions used by some persons was the option “back to Hotmail” that was available in the configuration section for all who has decided to test the new Outlook email platform, where we were allowed to return to the old MSN Hotmail interface easily, personally, I made this a couple of times and only took me a few seconds to return to our Hotmail inbox. Now that is a thing of the past as it has been completely removed that option from settings Outlook.com.

Hotmail? … It’s a memory?, Hotmail Calendar??

While it is not possible to return to Hotmail from Outlook mail we still have some memory of the old Hotmail interface in our Outlook inboxes these days, precisely it is the calendar function of Outlook, or we should say even Hotmail calendar because it is almost the last thing that will be left with the appearance of Hotmail and we can check directly to enter from the smart bar higher Outlook.com inbox by clicking on calendar. Maybe from Microsoft have decided that it’s the last to change, we will see later, and was Skydrive which suited the new look, the calendar should do the same in the coming days or months.

As we can see we will have to say goodbye permanently to Hotmail to make way for a new interface, faster and more modern, a design intended to save time and highly effective functionality, if you have not yet created an account  in Outlook and it’s interisting for you, we invite you to create an Outlook email account and to use all the services it has for you.

Hotmail disappears and is renamed as Outlook.com

May 31, 2013 omar Hotmail News

 

The veteran free email service Hotmail, created by Microsoft in 1996, was renamed since yesterday as “Outlook” (www.outlook.com). In June, the Hotmail email has remained as the most used in the world, with 324 million users, ie 36 percent of the global market. But recently has experienced a loss of customers from Google’s Gmail, the fastest growing rival, now has a share of 21 percent. For its part, Yahoo Mail is sitting at 32 percent.

To ensure leadership, the new Outlook features a new look simpler and more fluid, links to social networks and new features to manage the massive amount of junk mail that floods mail accounts.

Users can connect the account with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+ to see the latest updates from the contacts. Also provides online chat via Facebook.

On the other hand, Microsoft has taken into account that, at present, advertising, offers, discounts and updates from social networks account for some 80 percent of the inbox of a typical user. To help combat this excess, the new service automatically detects mass messages and places them in a separate folder.

 

The new mail also allows simplified access to the Internet Microsoft products, such as SkyDrive for storing documents and Office Web Apps to work away from the PC.

Deactivating “restore messages” function

Hotmail has great advantages for those users who want to be fully organized, those who love to have everything in place and be able to recover every single bit of information they may have lost. For a single user, this is especially great, but for those who share their hotmail’s account with many other users, there are some cares you must have, like be able to secure your password, or you may even don’t want them to read certain mails.

Of course, you can always delete those mails you don’t want other users to see, but they real problem is this: they can always restore those messages if they want to. Fortunately, Hotmail has some special options now for those who have to share a single account for many other users, and is the ability to deactivate the “restore messages” function. To do this, the first step is to log-in to your hotmail account. Once you’ve successfully logged-in, look for the “options” label on your inbox, click on it and then click on “more options”. A new page will load, and you’ll now have to click on the link named “Advanced privacy settings”, under the “Customizing Hotmail” title.

A new page will load again, and now you must pay attention to the second option, the “deleted messages” one. By clicking on the bottom option you’ll disable the “restore messages” function, and be letting the first option marked, you can restore your messages whenever you want. Once you’ve clicked on the second option, click on “save” button and you’re more than ready.

Exporting Hotmail contacts

February 11, 2012 omar Hotmail MSN, Hotmail Tutorials, Varied Hotmail

Exporting Hotmail contacts

Computers are delicate tools, if you don’t know how to use them properly you can end up downloading a virus that may erase all of your important files in your computer, like family pictures, video, movies, songs you rightfully own, and even legal programs. This is way that if you have important files you cannot lose, you may want to back-up them by burning them in DVDs, CDs or even copy them to Hard Drive Disks or Flash memories.

But there is something maybe harder to back-up, and this is a contact list. If you delete the whole list by yourself you are able to get it back, but if someone else has stolen your account, you may have lost your entire contact list forever and ever, you won’t be able to get it back… or that was in the past. Now Hotmail has many services for you to take advantage, and once of those is to be able to back-up your contact list by exporting it in a special format. Doing this will take seconds, but will save lot of time incase you lose your account, and the first step to back-up your contact list is to log-in to your Hotmail account and head to your Inbox. Now you’ll find a link called “Options” in the right corner, click on it and then click on “more options” in the pop-up menu. A new page will load, showing lots of titles and options below those titles, but you’ll click on “exporting contacts” option under the “customize your contacts” title. Now you can save your back-up, since it’ll automatically start downloading your back-up contact list in .CSV format.

Once the file has finished downloading, you can now be sure that you have a back-up from your contact list in case your hotmail account gets stolen or a virus deletes all of your contacts. Remember to save this file in a safe place to avoid losing or deleting it.
