Doug 2019 hotmail.com or hotmail.com update new

A blast from the past!

In 2019, Microsoft announced that it would be retiring the Hotmail brand and replacing it with Outlook.com. Here's what happened:

Hotmail.com update:

• In July 2019, Microsoft started migrating Hotmail users to Outlook.com. This meant that existing Hotmail accounts would be upgraded to Outlook.com accounts, with all existing email addresses and settings preserved.
• The migration process was gradual, and users were notified via email when their account was being upgraded.
• Once the migration was complete, Hotmail.com was no longer accessible, and users were redirected to Outlook.com.

New features and changes:

• With the update, Outlook.com gained new features, such as:
  • A modernized interface with a more intuitive design.
  • Improved search functionality.
  • Enhanced security features, including two-factor authentication and better spam filtering.
  • Integration with other Microsoft services, like OneDrive and Office Online.
• Hotmail users also gained access to Outlook.com's advanced features, such as calendar and contact management, and the ability to use Outlook.com on mobile devices.

Doug's Hotmail.com update:

• If Doug had a Hotmail.com account in 2019, it would have been migrated to Outlook.com, and he would have received an email notification about the change.
• Doug's email address would remain the same ([email protected]), but he would have access to the new Outlook.com features and interface.

In summary, Hotmail.com is no longer available, and all existing accounts were migrated to Outlook.com in 2019. If you're still using a Hotmail.com account, you're likely using Outlook.com now!
