Major MSN Hotmail Update to Windows Live Hotmail

After several reports that Windows Live Mail is being rebranded as Windows Live Hotmail, the official launch has started worldwide. Microsoft is rolling out the biggest Hotmail update ever with a massive 36-language upgrade from MSN Hotmail to Windows Live Hotmail rolling out gradually worldwide.

The new version of Hotmail improves safety, productivity and flexibility of their free email service across clients on the web, desktop and mobile phones. All new user email accounts will be created as Windows Live Hotmail accounts while existing MSN Hotmail users will be able to upgrade their accounts to Windows Live Hotmail by clicking the green “Join Windows Live Hotmail” button in their accounts after logging in.

New users will have the option of choosing between the full and classic experiences upon signing up. Existing Hotmail users will be defaulted onto the classic version, with the option to switch to full with just one click.

Earlier Live Hotmail beta testers got an email telling them of the rewards for participating in the beta and the testers got a special Beta Signature Badge to display online.

  2. I want to be able to sort my mail so the older mail is at the top and the newer mail is at the bottom, and HAVE IT STAY THAT WAY! I used to be able to. Now I have to resort it every single time I log in. What a pain. And this new format takes much longer to open on dial-up. The old way opened fairly quickly.

    I want the old Hotmail back. (And yes, I do still listen to records, not an IPOD. Just an old fogey.) But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

  3. Bloated, resource draining useless piece of garbage. Just another way to 1) shove more ads into your computer, and 2) validate the jobs of too many eager software writers. All you need is to send and recieve messages, and attach stuff. Why does it have to be a complicated, time consuming ordeal now? I am really getting tired of all this microsoft crap.
