Microsoft live mail

Microsoft Live Mail!

Microsoft Live Mail was a free email service provided by Microsoft, which was launched in 2007 and discontinued in 2012. It was a web-based email service that allowed users to send and receive emails, as well as manage their contacts and calendar.

Here are some key features of Microsoft Live Mail:

Features:

  1. Email: Users could send and receive emails with a @live.com or @hotmail.com address.
  2. Contacts: Users could manage their contacts, including adding, editing, and deleting contacts.
  3. Calendar: Users could manage their calendar, including scheduling appointments and events.
  4. File storage: Users had access to a limited amount of free storage space to store files, such as documents, images, and videos.
  5. Integration: Live Mail was integrated with other Microsoft services, such as Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live SkyDrive (now known as OneDrive).

Discontinuation:

Microsoft Live Mail was discontinued in 2012, and users were encouraged to switch to Outlook.com, which is a more modern and feature-rich email service. Outlook.com offers many of the same features as Live Mail, including email, contacts, calendar, and file storage.

Legacy:

Although Microsoft Live Mail is no longer available, many users still have existing accounts and may still be using the service. If you're a user of Live Mail, you may want to consider switching to Outlook.com or another email service to take advantage of newer features and better security.

Tips:

If you're still using Live Mail, here are a few tips to help you transition to Outlook.com:

  1. Export your contacts: Use the Live Mail export feature to export your contacts to a CSV file, which you can then import into Outlook.com.
  2. Transfer your email: Use the Live Mail export feature to export your emails to a PST file, which you can then import into Outlook.com.
  3. Update your bookmarks: Update your bookmarks to point to Outlook.com instead of Live Mail.
