I got an e-mail today from Microsoft that said to upgrade my Hotmail account to Outlook.com. It will be automatically changed soon. Does that mean that my e-mail address will be changed? Will it be forwarded? All of my logins with e-mail address will not work? I will have to send every one in my address book an e-mail with change of address? All of that sucks.:cry::(:mad:

I converted to Outlook when it first came out. But, I liked Hotmail better than Outlook. "new improved" is not always better.

I, for one, prefer Outlook. It's neat. Also, Outlook sounds better than "Hot" mail...

you do not have to change your email account to @outlook.com you can keep your @hotmail.com, you will just log into a new look if you accept their terms. You will have no choice to join outlook.com because hotmail is being phased out, but you can keep the same hotmail account. I have a msn account and a @live.com account and the email i received from microsoft stated to just accept the outlook.com terms but I can keep all my settings and everything else.

In my opinion, stick with the email account you have now so you insure everything stays the same :)

yeah, you can keep your hotmail address even while using outlook.com. I still have mine.

the benefits of the new outlook.com are great, especially the ability to have multiple aliases without having to create multiple accounts.

basically outlook.com is just a new and upgraded webmail portal. Your account will stay exactly the same, just it will be presented differently.
