Msn hotmail. outlook set
A blast from the past!
MSN Hotmail was one of the earliest web-based email services, launched in 1996 by Hotmail founders Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith. In 1997, Microsoft acquired Hotmail for $400 million and rebranded it as MSN Hotmail.
In 2012, Microsoft launched Outlook.com, a new email service that replaced Hotmail. Outlook.com was designed to be a more modern and feature-rich email service, with a focus on integration with other Microsoft services like Office and Skype.
Here's a brief timeline of the transition:
- 1996: Hotmail is launched as a web-based email service.
- 1997: Microsoft acquires Hotmail for $400 million and rebrands it as MSN Hotmail.
- 2012: Microsoft launches Outlook.com, a new email service that replaces Hotmail.
- 2013: Microsoft begins to transition Hotmail users to Outlook.com.
- 2015: Microsoft officially retires the Hotmail brand and redirects hotmail.com to Outlook.com.
Today, Outlook.com is one of the most popular email services in the world, with over 400 million active users. It offers a range of features, including:
- A clean and modern interface
- Integration with other Microsoft services like Office and Skype
- Advanced security features, such as two-factor authentication and data encryption
- Support for multiple email accounts and calendars
- A mobile app for Android and iOS devices
If you're still using a Hotmail account, you can upgrade to Outlook.com by following these steps:
- Sign in to your Hotmail account.
- Click on the "Upgrade to Outlook" button.
- Follow the prompts to create a new Outlook.com account or link your existing Hotmail account to Outlook.com.
- Once you've upgraded, you can access your email, contacts, and calendar from the Outlook.com website or mobile app.
I hope that helps!
