HotMail is going away... Outlook.com is taking it's place

Microsoft's venerable but tarnished consumer Hotmail service is being replaced with a new service with a familiar name, Outlook.com.  If you have an existing Hotmail or Live.com account you can continue to use it at the new Outlook.com.  However, if you wish to create a new account you may do so and since it is new you will want to head over to the site so you can create and obtain the account name you wish before it is taken.  Microsoft is taking aim at Google's GMail service which is now 8 years old and lacks many of the new features users have come to expect.  In addition to the new email service you get free Word, Excel and PowerPoint apps built in and 7 GB of free cloud storage.  The most exciting feature about the new Outlook.com is the not only does it work on your PC, it also works on your Mac, phone and tablet.


To try the new interface or create an account head on over to Outlook.com

  2. Yahoo requires you to validate that the e-mail address you attempting to add is actually yours. That is a good thing. If they didn't do this spammers and criminals alike could do serious harm. Yahoo's method of validating a new e-mail address is to send a code to that address and ask the receiver to validate the code on another site. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0kZrnZTkuR_al9vTzU5elM4ZEU
