Hot mail.com messagerie
You're referring to the classic Hotmail!
Hotmail was one of the first free web-based email services, launched in 1996 by Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith. It was acquired by Microsoft in 1997 and became a popular platform for personal and professional communication.
The Hotmail interface was known for its simplicity and ease of use, with a basic layout that included a inbox, outbox, and compose window. Users could access their email accounts using a web browser and a username and password.
Some notable features of Hotmail included:
- Free email accounts: Hotmail offered free email accounts with a generous storage capacity, making it an attractive option for those who didn't want to pay for email services.
- Web-based interface: Hotmail was one of the first email services to offer a web-based interface, allowing users to access their email accounts from anywhere with an internet connection.
- POP3 and IMAP support: Hotmail supported POP3 and IMAP protocols, allowing users to access their email accounts using third-party email clients.
- Spam filtering: Hotmail had a built-in spam filtering system to help reduce the amount of junk mail users received.
- Integration with other Microsoft services: Hotmail was integrated with other Microsoft services, such as Outlook and Windows Live.
However, Hotmail's popularity began to decline in the mid-2000s as other email services like Gmail and Yahoo! Mail gained popularity. In 2013, Microsoft announced that it would be retiring the Hotmail brand and replacing it with Outlook.com, a new email service that offered more features and a modern design.
Today, Outlook.com is the successor to Hotmail, offering a range of features including a more modern interface, improved security, and integration with other Microsoft services.
