Known and proven Hotmail is now dead. In a blog post Microsoft announces that they have now migrated what was the world’s largest web-based e-mail client over to Outlook.com, which is the nail in the coffin for the old trotter.
400 million users
The change was announced back in February this year. Since Microsoft has had plenty to keep you busy: In just six weeks is 150 petabytes of data moved, from emails to contact lists. Outlook will now count 400 million active users.
Although your old Hotmail account now forced over to Outlook, should not it offer some practical challenges. The interface is well enough something else entirely, and some new features have been added. But all you had contacts, emails and rules, not least din@hotmail.com-adresse should have been moved over.
New Features
Today, Microsoft has also added two new features. Outlook now supports SMTP transmission, which means you can send an e-mail through another client – such as Gmail – without sending “on behalf” of another account.
The second feature is that SkyDrive, Microsoft’s cloud service, now more tightly integrated into Outlook. You can now send pictures, documents and other files you have stored on SkyDrive directly from Outlook.
Outlook has also a number of interesting features: See everything that’s new in Microsoft’s e-mail solution »
