Hotmail Outlook Account Registration and Login Guide | signup.live.com
– Hotmail Outlook Account Registration –
Hotmail is a free email service offered by Microsoft. However, the service is no longer known as Hotmail, Windows Live, or MSN. In fact, the site was completely revamped to the most recent Outlook.com.
Outlook and Hotmail can mean the same thing, but don’t think that Microsoft renamed their popular web mail service for the sake of namesakes.
This really wasn’t just about renaming- a mere re-branding strategy. They did, in fact, make something better out of it by adding a ton of new useful features to your inbox, and also by making it easier to use- efficiency, you may call it.
Before Hotmail, what was?
Hotmail and its trailing competitor then- Four11 RocketMail was preceded by an exhausting emailing software, specifically requiring a license agreement from an internet service provider (ISP) if access was from the web and not that specific software downloaded into the device.
With this new upgrade which redirects any access to the Microsoft’s outlook.live.com site, questions on internet chatters about Hotmail’s credibility crept in.
Benefits of Hotmail-Cum-Outlook Partnership
1. Email scheduling
Outlook.com allows for a written email to be scheduled for a preferred time. Here’s how it works:
Once the email is written,
➛ Navigate to Options>Delay Delivery and check the box that reads Do not deliver before.
➙ Secondly, enter your choiced date and time for the email to be sent.
2.Customizable email organization
Emails can be color coded according to keywords or content. An instance is that unread emails can be marked in green highlights or any color per the settings, unlike the popular bolded font.
Outlook.com will highlight a user specified keyword in a set color, if the subject line includes the keyword. Emails from specific contacts, such as a coworker, can be highlighted for easy visibility.
Other Post- Rebranding Benefits
1. Security
2. Collaborative calendar
3. Task organization and optimization.
