The history of www.hotmail.com

In 1996, Sabeer Bathia and Jack Smith set out to create an e-mail service, based on the Internet, free, which would allow people to exchange information easily and quickly. It was not a very simple task, since, at that time, there was not as much computer knowledge as there is today.

Hotmail was one of the first email services to appear in the world, along with RocketMail, which would later be known as Yahoo! Mail. The name of this service was inspired by "HTML" (HoTMaiL), which is a main computer language, used when creating and designing a web page.

The growth experienced by Hotmail was very positive, from the very beginning. So much was the success that Hotmail won, that Microsoft bid up to buy it, in 1997, for a final price of no less than $ 400 million USD. Paying such a large amount for a web page at that time seemed crazy, but it was a good buy. In fact, by the end of 1997, it had an impressive 8.5 million registered and active users.

Microsoft did not introduce major changes, except for the inclusion of "MSN" in the name, to later become MSN Hotmail. By the beginning of 1999, MSN Hotmail had an impressive number of more than 30 million users. Previously, Hotmail was running with the FreeBSD and Solaris operating systems. Of course, Hotmail was not the only service that Microsoft offered.

Among the most outstanding services offered by Microsoft was the MSN Messenger, which quickly reached great popularity. Moreover, it could be considered as one of the first instant messaging applications that were created; It had almost the same features as the instant messaging applications we see today: the ability to make video calls, have states, see who was connected, send funny emoticons, and more.

The competition comes to Microsoft Outlook

Seeing the great success that Hotmail had and the considerable competition that Yahoo! Mail, Google decided to join the battle for the throne of email services in 2004. Although it was not open to the public from the beginning (only by invitation), it was progressively accessible to the public.

This email service offered by Google is known as Gmail. Gmail quickly got into the competition, thanks to its innovations, which left behind Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail in terms of technology: greater file storage capacity, optimized interface design, and other features that made Gmail a success.

Sure, Microsoft realized the intentions of Google; therefore, he began to make some improvements in Hotmail, although he had a long time without making updates on the page, such as increasing storage capacity and improving speed.

Although this did not stop the growth of Gmail, it did keep him in the competition. (As a highlight, Gmail's great success is due to Google's alliance with Android, the most widely used mobile phone operating system in the world.) In fact, having a Gmail account is necessary in order to enjoy the services of Gmail. Google on Android phones, which are indispensable, one of these services is the Google Play Store, the store where all non-default applications are downloaded.)

The change of Hotmail.com

In July 2012 until February 2013, Microsoft decided to make major changes to Hotmail, among which the change of name to Outlook stands out. Along with the name, other changes came, such as the inclusion of other Microsoft services to the same account (Microsoft account), where there are some services such as Xbox, One Drive, One Note, Skype, and more.

These services also include Outlook. In summary, in order to enjoy all Microsoft services, including email through Outlook, only one account is needed. In addition, all Microsoft Office file formats (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, ...) are compatible with Outlook, and can be viewed from the same browser, without necessarily having the Windows operating system (owned by Microsoft, too).

But these changes were not the only ones. The interface, in general, also underwent several changes; all these changes were with the aim of improving the appearance and increasing the ease of use of it. This new interface is very similar to that of the Windows 8 operating system.

How to create a Hotmail account

Now, in view of the great benefits that come with having a Hotmail account, you may wonder how to create your own Hotmail account. Most likely, it's because you do not have a Hotmail account specifically; because it is very rare to find someone who does not currently have an email account.

Next, we will detail, step by step, what you will need to do to have your own Hotmail email.

1. First of all, you must go to the official Hotmail page, better known as Outlook: www.outlook.com. If you go to www.hotmail.com, it will automatically redirect you to the official Outlook page, anyway.
2. Now, click on the "Create account" option.
3. Now, a form should appear; You must complete each of the boxes with the information that corresponds to each one. This information will be necessary to open your Hotmail account. The information that you will have to enter is: Your first and last name. Optionally, you can write your second name and your second surname; It is not a necessity. Then, create your own username. This option is clearly of your preference. The choice of username is totally up to you. Of course, it should not be the same username that someone else has previously chosen; In case you enter a username that is already occupied by another person, you will be notified immediately, along with a recommendation. It is not obligatory to put the username that you are recommended, You can also choose to modify that recommendation, until you enter a valid username. It is very important that you make sure you do not forget your username, as it will be mandatory when you log in.
4. Now, you will have the opportunity to choose the domain of your email address. To do this, you must choose between the three alternatives that appear in the drop-down menu next to the username box. There are 3 options: @ outlook.es, @ outlook.com and @ hotmail.com. Since we want a Hotmail profile, choose the domain @ hotmail.com.
5. Subsequently, the most important step comes: choose the password. This step is much more relevant than many people think, since it involves most of the security of your account. To enjoy an optimal level of security, you start by having a sufficiently complicated password. A complicated password is achieved by mixing lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers and symbols. Of course, you must be sure not to forget the password. If possible, write it down somewhere that can not be accessed by anyone else, but only by you. By the way, the password must be 8 characters or longer. In the next box, rewrite the password just as you did in the previous box. If the passwords do not match, you will be notified immediately.
6. Choose the country where you live. Enter your date of birth. Choose your sex
7. Then, enter your phone number. This step should not be underestimated, since having a phone number can be crucial for the recovery of the account due to any reason. Providing your phone number can save you big headaches; do not overlook this option. You will also be asked for an alternative email account. This step is also essential in the account recovery process, since you can verify your identity through this secondary account that you place. This can serve as an alternative to the telephone number.
8. Now, just click on "Create account", after you have entered the security characters. And ready! You already have your Hotmail account. In just a few minutes, you can create a Hotmail account, very simply.

How to sign in to your Hotmail account

Now that you have your own Hotmail account, you must learn to log in. It's very simple, but we'll show you how to do it, in a few simple steps, so you know how to log in to your account as many times as you want.

1. Enter your favorite web browser and enter the official page of Hotmail, or rather, Outlook: www.outlook.com. An interesting fact is that the interface of Outlook is identical to that of Windows 8. The idea of ​​the designer was just this. Always remember that it is better to log in from a secure device, since many scammers can use specialized tactics to obtain your private information, using public computers. Look for the option to "Log in" and click on it. This will not be necessary if you are redirected to the page where the username is requested at one time; Usually, it happens that way. However, you must enter the username in the corresponding box, along with the domain you chose.
2. Click on "next".
3. Then enter your password. Make sure that the capitalization lock is not activated, since the password will be invalid. Immediately, select "login"; If you did everything correctly, you will be redirected to the inbox at one time.

What to do to recover your account

There are many reasons why you might lose control over your account, but the most common are: forgetting the password and being a victim of information theft along with account manipulation.

These two situations can be detrimental to your safety, and even to others; Having your personal information in the hands of another unauthorized person can be very dangerous. Therefore, it is crucial to know how to recover your account if any of these unfortunate events take place.

Thanks to the simplicity and good service that characterizes Microsoft, recovering your account is not a very difficult mission. All you have to do is:

• enter your username; then, press "next".
• Then, select the option "I forgot my password".
• 3 options will appear; Choose the corresponding one, and already.

Outlook will tell you what you have to do to recover your account quickly and effectively. Just follow the instructions to the letter.
