Office 2015 outlook hotmail
A blast from the past!
Office 2015 was released in September 2015, and it included Outlook 2015, which was the email client for Windows. At that time, Hotmail was still a popular email service, and Microsoft had just acquired it from Yahoo! in 2012.
Here are some key features of Outlook 2015 and its integration with Hotmail:
Outlook 2015 features:
- Unified inbox: Outlook 2015 allowed users to access multiple email accounts, including Hotmail, in a single inbox.
- Calendar and contacts: Outlook 2015 included a calendar and contact manager, making it easy to schedule meetings and keep track of contacts.
- Task management: Users could create and manage tasks, set reminders, and prioritize their work.
- Integration with other Office apps: Outlook 2015 was tightly integrated with other Microsoft Office apps, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Hotmail integration:
- Automatic account setup: Outlook 2015 could automatically detect and set up Hotmail accounts, making it easy to access your email.
- Two-factor authentication: Outlook 2015 supported two-factor authentication for Hotmail accounts, providing an extra layer of security.
- Syncing: Outlook 2015 synced your Hotmail email, contacts, and calendar with your local device, ensuring that you had access to your data even offline.
Limitations:
- Compatibility issues: Some users experienced compatibility issues with Outlook 2015 and Hotmail, particularly with older versions of Hotmail.
- Limited customization: Outlook 2015 had limited customization options compared to newer versions of Outlook.
What happened to Hotmail?
In 2013, Microsoft rebranded Hotmail as Outlook.com, and in 2015, it began to phase out the Hotmail brand. Today, Outlook.com is a popular email service that offers many of the same features as Outlook 2015, but with a more modern design and additional features.
