From what we have seen, Outlook.com has received a solid response from Internet users all over the world. Today, most of us are registered with an @hotmail or @live and even @msn accounts. If you want to migrate and rename your account to @Outlook.com, you can with a few simple clicks.

First, log in to Outlook.com with your Microsoft hotmail email account. After logging in, click on the gear icon and select More Mail Settings.

Under Managing Your Account, click on Rename Your Email Address. It will open a new popup and will ask you to login again to verify your account.

Next, you’re brought to Outlook.com so you can rename your account. Just select the email address you want to use with Outlook.com and click on Save button. If the selected name is available, it will redirect you to your inbox.

It will then ask you whether you want to create a new folder in Outlook.com address where it will save the emails sent on your old email address or keep them in inbox along with other Outlook.com emails.

I decided to save the emails sent in a separate folder. It will show the folder along with all of the other folders.

This is similar to creating an alias in Outlook.com. Remember that changing your account will affect the other Microsoft services you use. And if you have a Windows Phone, just forget about renaming your account. You’ll have to reset to factory settings which will make you lose all of your data and apps. In fact, according to Microsoft:

 All change ... Hotmail is to be relaunched at Outlook.com

Microsoft's new Hotmail highlight will appear to be extremely commonplace to long-lasting GMail clients. 

Microsoft has presented another component in its Hotmail webmail benefit that enables you to utilize Hotmail's different highlights with any email address. 

Hotmail accounts have possessed the capacity to get messages from different records for some time presently, as long as they bolster the POP3 email accepting innovation. Hotmail locations would now be able to act like another address when sending messages as well, so messages sent from Hotmail give off an impression of being sent from a GMail address, your business locale or some other address you pick. This accordingly enables you to utilize Hotmail highlights, for example, sending colossal connections, with some other email address. 

"We get it. You as of now have no less than one email address and you most likely needn't bother with another. You may likewise utilize your current address for things other than simply email, for example, marking in to internet shopping locales, which makes changing considerably all the more difficult. Additionally, you may have an address that you extremely like, yet a comparative name won't not be accessible on another email benefit. So we searched for an approach to make it less demanding for individuals to give Hotmail a preliminary run," said Microsoft's Dick Craddock on the Windows Live blog. 

"Today we start revealing a component that makes it simple to utilize Hotmail account with any current email address. Similarly as you can utilize Microsoft Outlook with an address from any administration, you would now be able to do likewise with Hotmail on the web." 

The element can empowered by tapping on the Option interface in the correct hand side sheet of the primary Hotmail window, pick More Options and afterward tap the Sending/accepting email from different records connect. 

Microsoft is revealing this new component to Hotmail accounts now. Albeit new to Hotmail, Google's GMail benefit has could act like other email addressees for some time now so clients can, for instance, utilize that administration's hostile to spam channels with different locations. 

"We're simply beginning to reveal this change today, so it might take a couple of days to achieve the greater part of our clients around the world. When it does, it would be ideal if you try it out, and let me know how it's functioning for you," Craddock included.

Among the numerous possibilities offered by the Hotmail.com or Outlook.com email service, there is a review of the record of our recent activity . This is a tool that reveals important information and is very useful, because through it we can have record of our logins and also the logins (or attempts to start) to your Hotmail account that have been made from other places or devices by unauthorized users.

Through this tool to check recent activity in Hotmail, we access a detailed list that informs us about the time of entry and the place or location, IP address, device, platform, browser ... from which the logins occur . The service warns us if there has been what is considered a "security challenge".

Steps to follow to check recent Hotmail activity

• First, we must access the service by entering our username and password.
• From the input tray we click on our username in the upper right margin, to access the account settings .
• A submenu is displayed in which we have to choose "Account settings" . We press on that option.
• The system asks us to confirm our password, since it is confidential information , to verify that the property of the mail account.
• After passing the verification of the account, we access the administration page. In the section "Security and privacy" , click on "Check recent activity" .
• Access a list with the history with all the information of the logins in Hotmail or Outlook.com .
• To see all the details we just have to click on the link of the login, incorrect password or security challenge. We can also inform in case we suspect that other unauthorized users are trying to access, by clicking on the link "It was not me" .

Microsoft unveiled the new Hotmail.com design just yesterday. The company’s new look for Hotmail is being tested by a small group of users, but there’s a workaround which lets anyone try the new design. I used the workaround to try out the new Outlook.com and I am really pleased with the new Hotmail so far.

The new Outlook obviously includes a new design. It’s inspired by the Outlook Mail app in Windows 10, but it’s a whole lot better than the Windows 10 mail app in many ways. The iconography used by the new Hotmail.com are the icons you get to see in Windows 10, and there’s also a hamburger menu just like the Windows 10 app. While I have not been a huge fan of the Hotmail Mail app’s design in Windows 10, the new Hotmail.com actually looks really pretty for a mail app.

With the new Hotmai login , Microsoft is focusing highly on search. The company recently started testing an advanced search feature on iOS (coming soon on Android), which leverages the power of Microsoft Graph to provide intelligent and contextual search results. On the web, however, there isn’t a huge difference in terms of the core functionality of the search feature. Instead, Microsoft’s made the placement of the search box a lot more prominent. I am expecting Microsoft to bring in some of the intelligent features from Hotmail Mobile to Hotmail.com’s search feature, so we shall wait and see.

Microsoft has also packed in some of the “modern” features that you’d expect to see on email clients in 2017. When you type a smiley face in an email, Hotmail will automatically suggest emojis that you can use, and there’s also a button which lets you search for emojis and GIFs right from Hotmail. A big part of the new Hotmail is a feature called Quick Suggestions which is supposed to intelligently provide suggestions about things like flight information, restaurant reservations, and more when you writing an email. I couldn’t get this feature to work in the beta as of writing this hands-on, so I can’t really tell how well that works at the moment.

Hotmail Photos is also a new feature that’s part of the new Hotmail. It’s an interesting new feature, but it definitely seems a bit under-cooked. Hotmail Photos is effectively a collection of all the attached images from your emails, and that’s about it. You can use the search feature to look for pictures, or you can look at photos from a specific contact, too. But the problem with the search feature is that it doesn’t include any intelligent features which means you’ll have to remember the exact term for a file name or email to be able to find a certain image. I really hope Microsoft brings in the advanced search features that are found on OneDrive and Google Photos to make the search feature actually useful.

The new Hotmail also feels much faster than the old app. For starters, it’s built on Facebook’s React framework which potentially resulted in the new Hotmail performing much better than before. Of course, the app is still in beta, so some parts might still feel a bit slow. It’s important to point out that Microsoft is yet to roll out the new design system for Hotmail Calendar, the people hub, and Hotmail Tasks.

Overall, I am a huge fan of the new Hotmail.com. Microsoft’s Hotmail team has been doing an amazing job on the mobile apps for the past year or so, and it’s very nice to see some of those changes coming to the web too. The new design works flawlessly, and the modern features are also going to be handy. Microsoft still needs to figure out what it really wants to Hotmail Photos, which isn’t ready for prime-time as of yet. But more importantly, Hotmail.com now looks and works like a modern email client you’d actually want to use on the browser — it’s miles ahead of Google’s Gmail which still looks something from 2007, and it also beats Google Inbox in many ways. A solid 9 out of 10.
