Hotmail is a great way to stay connected with friends and family, and it’s free to use. Here are some tips on how to use Hotmail from Microsoft Outlook:
- Sign in to your Hotmail account. If you don’t have an account, you can create one free of charge.
- Click the “Inbox” button on the toolbar at the top of the screen. This will show all of your messages, including those that have been sent to you but haven’t yet been read. You can also access your messages by clicking on the “Mail” tab at the top of the screen and then selecting “Inbox.”
- To reply to a message, click on it and then click on the “Reply” button that appears next to it. You can also type a reply in the text box that appears below the Reply button.
- To delete a message, select it and then click on the “Delete” button that appears next to it. You can also select multiple messages and then click on the “Delete” button that appears next to them all. ..
This is especially helpful for those of us that maintain a hotmail account but don’t like to ever check it because we don’t use it all that often.
Installation
Make sure that Outlook is closed, and then download and install the Microsoft Office Outlook Connector. Open Outlook and you’ll immediately be prompted with the settings dialog.
Enter in your account details into this screen, and then close the dialog. You’ll be prompted to restart Outlook again.
Once you’ve restarted, you’ll now see your Hotmail account in the list of mail accounts, and you can send/receive to download your messages.
If you want to send email with the hotmail account, you’ll notice a new drop-down for Account, which will let you switch the account you are sending the email as.
Hopefully this will save you some of the pain of the slow-loading hotmail website.
