Many users may confuse this mail with Outlook Express, which used to be built into windows and was an email client. Microsoft then had its own Hotmail.com mail, and it was she who became the basis for the new outlook tool. However, now it is not only regular mail, it includes several more interesting functions. In fact, this service can now be called online organizer because it includes a calendar, a notebook, as well as a task planner and a manager for managing contacts. The ability to integrate with online office services has been added, which allows you to better plan your activities. There was also the possibility of using it as a regular mail service.

Everything that the user can see here is quite familiar to those who have encountered mail services earlier. On the left side of the window there will be display sections mail, in them you can find fresh incoming letters, view sent messages, spam or deleted.

Let's say you have chosen the Hotmail.com e-mail service for an important correspondence. Your choice is not so bad. Microsoft has produced a more or less decent service, especially in comparison with some others that are popular among the Russian-speaking population of the planet. However, it does not hurt you to know about the advantages, disadvantages and some subtleties. Therefore, as usual, we pay the greatest attention not to theory, but to practice. Let's start with the most important.
The most important settings
In order to access the mailbox from public Wi-Fi networks during travel, business trips, in a cafe, at the airport, and so on, you should take care of the presence of an encrypted connection.
Setting up a secure HTTPS connection
For some reason, a secure connection is not used by default. Apparently, the owners of the service believe that ordinary hamsters do not need it. And whoever needs it will turn it on himself. We include:
Options -> Advanced Privacy Options -> Go to HTTPS Options -> Use HTTPS Protocol Automatically -> Save
That's it, now you can work with mail via the web interface from open Wi-Fi networks.
Quick login
In order not to contemplate the beauty of the Windows Live page every time, but to immediately get into the "Inbox":
Options -> Service Options Windows Live Home -> Show Inbox at Login
Despite the tautology, it is stated clearly. We entered the username and password - and immediately found ourselves in your mailbox.
POP3 setup
So that you do not have to periodically go through the web interface and manually cut out a lot of letters that are no longer needed for a long time:
Options -> Other Options -> POP and Delete Downloaded Messages -> Follow other program settings ...
Alas, this bun does not always produce an adequate effect, and messages often remain in the Inbox folder, and even marked as unread.
Mail clients
Lucky with that. The mail client in the Opera browser or the Mozilla Thunderbird program will themselves pull from the server the parameters required to set up a secure connection.
We specify POP3, since the IMAP connection is not currently provided by the Hotmail.com service.
Other subtleties
In addition, in the settings of the Hotmail.com e-mail service, you can insure against accidental cleaning of the folder with deleted messages. I mean, leave the opportunity to return mail from oblivion after accidentally pressing the wrong button.
You can, of course, enable forwarding to another address, but in this case the following minor troubles await you:
- very inspiring information that you need to periodically look at the web interface, otherwise the mailbox will be liquidated in a few months;
- annoying warning in the "Inbox", they say, imagine all your letters are forwarded.
True, the latter is not so bad in terms of security: if someone, somehow having learned the password, quietly sets up a transfer, the secret will immediately become apparent.
Flaws
The web interface constantly requires not only the most recent version of the browser, but also the popular browser. It is completely impossible to access from some internet browsers specific to free operating systems. For example from Epiphany.
Although, of course, no surprise, because the Hotmail.com email service is owned by Microsoft. GNU / Linux is not tightly blocked - and thanks for that. However, old releases of any browsers are not allowed in the mail, regardless of the OS.
In early spring 2012, the minimum interval between requests to the server via POP3 was increased to fifteen minutes.
They overdid it with the spam filter. It is useless to mark automatic mailing from different services as "not spam", it will still be filtered out. But this is not so bad.
The trouble is that quite harmless "single" letters from people, not robotic programs, are also eliminated. We communicated with someone for many months, did not know grief, and then suddenly his messages begin to be filtered out.
Dignity
Let's summarize
So, if you are not constantly online, the speed of delivery and sending of correspondence is not critical for you, and your browser is popular and updated on time, then perhaps you will like the Hotmail.com e-mail service.
If you receive dozens of letters a day, you have to respond to them and at the same time do not confuse anything, do not lose sight of a single important message, do not save innocent victims of a paranoid filter from the Spam folder, do not wait fifteen minutes for an urgent reply from mail program, then you better choose Gmail or Yandex-Mail.

Back in 1997, the Microsoft company launched a project of a free mail service "MSN Hotmail", which allowed users not only to communicate through messages, but also to get access to various services of the company. There is no doubt that "MSN Hotmail" attracted a huge number of users and in 15 years has become the leader in the number of registered users. How to create a mail account in "MSN Hotmail"?
How to enter the mail hotmail.com
First, we need to go to the official website of the service, which contains the link Login to mail.
Click on it and a page appears in front of us, which prompts you to enter your data to log into your account.
Here a logical question arises - why are we talking about the "MSN Hotmail" service, to which the @ hotmail.com domain name belongs, and Outlook is indicated on the page?
The fact is that this mail service is a new version of "MSN Hotmail", launched by Microsoft in 2013.
It is worth noting that users who have an email address that contains the @ hotmail.com domain are automatically moved to the new service, so feel free to enter your data and continue working with mail in Outlook.
For those who do not have an account with Microsoft, and therefore no mailbox in this service, we suggest registering right now, since the whole process takes a few minutes. So, let's begin.
As you have already noticed, the @ outlook.com domain is not the only possible option for registration, since the service is capable of supporting other addresses as well. So, we fill in all the fields, enter the captcha and click on the Create account button.
When entering a password for an account, you should take into account the fact that you need to use not only numbers but also upper and lower case letters of the English alphabet.
Thus, the service minimizes the risk of hacking your account by third-party users. As you noticed, not all sections can be filled in, for example, I did without the postal code and entering the phone number.
However, it should be borne in mind that in this case you need to fill in the lines for alternative data, such as the address of another mailbox and the date of birth. Belonging to a particular country also does not matter.
After we clicked Create an account a window of our mail service appears in front of us.
Now we save in a separate file the login and password for logging into the account, which opens up for us the possibilities not only of the Outlook service, but also comes in handy for activating some functions of a smartphone and laptop that work with Microsoft applications.
