Major MSN Hotmail Update to Windows Live Hotmail
May 8th, 2007After 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.
Discover Hotmail today with 2GB email storage, better spam protection, faster speed and more customization. The competition increases with Yahoo! Mail offering unlimited free email storage and Google Gmail opening worldwide without need for invites anymore.

all my emails are gone after I did the update…Help
I cannot open my hotmail mail…it is driving me crazy…haven’t been able to for ages…just keep seeing my email number going up…I wish I could just go BACK TO THE OLD HOTMAIL! I never had any problems with it before.
I had been sent a notice that we wouldn’t be able to use the e-mail that we are now using and gave us other options with a dead line to choose one by Sept.1 which we had thought about possibly doing so but by accedent the notice that was sent to us was deleted and we are requesting another notice to be sent to us with the same options.

Yet again, microsoft have brought in new software, and in one almighty stroke, treated us all as sh.. I am so sorry for all those who have lost their emails. So much for saving paper and forests, but the only way to keep things safe is to print it all. Where is the sense in that microsoft? Piles of paper in filing cabinets! I lost a lot of emails thanks to yahoo. Now it has happened again, with microsoft outlook express. Looks like I will be joining most of the people on this site in looking for alternative email provision. Thanks for nothing microsoft!!!
