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.
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.
I ABSOULOUTE HATE THE NEW LIVE VERSION, I CAN NOT FIND ANYWERE TO CHANGE IT BACK.. I HATE HATE HATE IT and its very disquesting, I want my classic version back now!
Quite simply:
IT”S AWFUL!!!!
I Hate this version who was the stupid person that inflicked this rubbish on a lot of people change it back as it was more user friendly than this version of hotmail
Five days ago, I could get into my hotmail. Then a page came up and said…Your hotmail has a new look and I was to click continue and when I did…nothing…I can no longer access my hotmail…it keeps trying to load and then when it’s done all I have is a white blank screen. I have no idea why I could open my old hotmail and now I can’t even get to it. I hate that I have now lost all my emails because I can’t even get to them. I am switching to yahoo.
As far as I enderstood there is no way to switch back. Is there any way to be able to see all the foldres? On the left hand side I see only contacts and calendar but what about sent, deleted, trash folders? Where are they?
