Hotmail sent email confirmation
When you sign up for a new Hotmail account, you'll receive an email confirmation from Microsoft to verify your email address. Here's what you can expect:
What is the email confirmation for?
The email confirmation is a security measure to ensure that you're the actual owner of the email address you're trying to create. It helps prevent spam and phishing attacks by verifying that you have access to the email address.
What does the email confirmation look like?
The email confirmation from Hotmail will have the following details:
- Subject: "Verify your new Hotmail account"
- Body: A brief message asking you to click on a verification link to confirm your email address.
- Verification link: A link that you need to click on to verify your email address. This link is unique to your email address and will only work for a limited time (usually 24 hours).
What happens if I don't receive the email confirmation?
If you don't receive the email confirmation, you can try the following:
- Check your spam folder: Sometimes, the email confirmation might end up in your spam folder. Check your spam folder to see if the email is there.
- Resend the confirmation email: You can try resending the confirmation email by going to the Hotmail sign-up page and clicking on the "Resend confirmation email" link.
- Contact Microsoft support: If you're still having trouble receiving the email confirmation, you can contact Microsoft support for assistance.
What happens if I click on the verification link?
When you click on the verification link, you'll be taken to a Microsoft page that confirms your email address. Once you've verified your email address, you'll be able to access your new Hotmail account and start using it.
That's it!
