Hotmail messenger mail
You're referring to the classic Hotmail Messenger!
Hotmail Messenger, also known as MSN Messenger, was a popular instant messaging service developed by Microsoft. It was launched in 1999 and was one of the first widely used instant messaging platforms.
Here are some key features of Hotmail Messenger:
- Instant Messaging: Users could send text messages to their friends and family in real-time.
- File Transfer: Users could send files to each other, including documents, images, and audio files.
- Audio and Video Calls: Users could make voice and video calls to each other, using their computers.
- Presence: Users could see the online status of their contacts, including whether they were available, busy, or away.
- Groups: Users could create groups to chat with multiple people at once.
- Emoticons: Users could use emoticons to add a touch of personality to their messages.
Hotmail Messenger was widely used in the early 2000s, especially among teenagers and young adults. However, with the rise of newer messaging platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Skype, Hotmail Messenger's popularity declined.
In 2013, Microsoft announced that it would be discontinuing Hotmail Messenger, and in 2014, it replaced it with Skype, which offered similar features and more.
