Sähköposti hotmail

Hotmail!

Hotmail was one of the first free web-based email services, launched in 1996 by Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith. It was acquired by Microsoft in 1997 and became a popular email service, especially in the early 2000s.

Hotmail's popularity peaked in the early 2000s, with over 100 million users worldwide. However, with the rise of other email services like Gmail and Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail's user base began to decline.

In 2013, Microsoft announced that it would be retiring the Hotmail brand and replacing it with Outlook.com, a new email service that would offer more features and a modern design. The transition was completed in 2013, and Hotmail.com was redirected to Outlook.com.

Although Hotmail is no longer a separate brand, many people still use the @hotmail.com email address, and it remains a popular choice for those who want a free email account.
