Setting up an Outlook.com Account

Those who wish to set up a Hotmail account can also choose to go to Outlook.com to do so. When you type in this address in your web browser, you will be redirected to signup.live.com. The signup form will be exactly the same, so you won’t have to worry about anything being different at all. “Outlook” is just another word for Hotmail, just so there is no confusion. When you sign up for this service, you will get an email address, POP access, and unlimited storage space for your emails. While a lot of other email companies limit the amount of storage space you have, this is not the case with Hotmail at all.

Once you have created your Hotmail account, you will find that using it is very easy and straightforward. If you want to send a new message to someone, all you need to do is click the “+New” button, which is located in the top right hand corner of the screen. On the left side of the page you will see a number of different sections that you can navigate to, including “Inbox”, “Archive,” “Junk,” and “Drafts.” You can also choose to set up a signature that will be located at the bottom of each email you send to people.

These days more and more people have started signing up for Hotmail accounts because it is such a great email service. And while it’s true that Gmail is still very popular, Hotmail does not limit the amount of space you can have for your emails. Another great thing about Hotmail is that signing up for an account is very easy. The user interface for Hotmail/Outlook is simple and clean, so you shouldn’t experience any problems figuring out how to do the things you need to.
