Sorry this off topic but I know there are some folk on here who are good with Pcs

My hotmail has suddenly gone over to "OUTLOOK" which I do not like - its slow and crap in my opinion. How can I get back to hotmail?

Thanks

Hi there,

"Hotmail" is usually accessed directly via the web, just like Googlemail.

Outlook is a Microsoft program running on a PC.

Outlook can be set up to read hotmail etc - but you can still go to the web - online and access hotmail in a web browser.

Or have you been using another PC program previously to access your hotmail account?

hi have had the very same problam, i went over to firefox and that works great for me. but you do have to get used to it, i`d been with explorer for years and you get used to them which makes the change over difficult untill you get used to it. peter

Hi

Hotmail has now been replaced with a new web-based system, which Microsoft are branding as "Outlook" (Outlook still exists as a piece of software on the PC as part of the Office suite, but this is an online version of the same thing).

I don't think Hotmail exists anymore so I'm afraid you'll have to stick with it and get used to the new interface.

Hope that clarifies, even if it doesn't help!

Thanks for that guys - I will just swap to another e mail provider as OUTLOOK is very slow on my PC where as hotmail was ok ! Cant do with the hassle!

I still have access to Hotmail.com and using it, although the home page proposes me to switch to Outlook.com, which I haven't done.

I have been using Mozilla Firefox as my main browser and Mozilla Thunderbird as my main e-mail client for almost six years now. I don't even have any version of Microsoft Office installed anymore. For MS-Office applications as Word, Excel and PowerPoint, I now use the open source suite OpenOffice.org. I want as little Microsoft software on my PC as possible, apart from the operating system of course.

dont go to hotmail .com! go to hotmail.co.uk!!!!!!!!!!!!
