1332798 2013-03-15 04:04:00 Has anybody had their hotmail account upgraded to the new Outlook email? Mine has and I hate it. Don't like the new layout. The reply, forward buttons are hidden till you select an email. Seems to much slower than the old hotmail interface.

Thinking of trying a different email provider thats better than hotmail.

1332799 2013-03-15 04:15:00 I can't even remember what the old interface looked like... probably because I never used it :p pcuser42 (130)
1332800 2013-03-15 04:35:00 Yeah I have had it upgraded. Prefer the older one.
If I were you I would go to Gmail. Personally I don't mind the new interface that much.

Friends are experiencing the same problem. :(

1332802 2013-03-15 04:42:00 The old interface was much better. Don't like the layout or anything at all. Had tried to use a email client like Thunderbird but found that hotmail doesn't have imap. Have seen that there is Windows Live Essentials that looks like it comes with its own email client.

Has anybody tried the Windows Live Mail program?

Windows Mail (not the Vista one) is quite good, although I haven't bothered installing it on Windows 8 yet.

The new outlook uses a plugin to integrate into Office outlook as it doesn't use Pop it uses a kind of Imap. I'm sure their will be a plugin for thunderbird if you look

Has anybody tried the Windows Live Mail program? Yep use that all the time if someone doesn't want a paid version (outlook). The outlook.com ( on line) can import mail from any pop3 account, you just have to set it up.

Office 2013 - Outlook integrates hotmail and any pop account as well.

Wish they didn't make Offcie 2013 so "bland" looking :( The colours you have to chose from are white ( sunglass material - its really BRIGHT :stare: ) Light gray or darker Gray.

Well, Fifty Shades of Gray is not available due to copyright complications, so two shades of gray is all you'll get until the (c) expires. ;)
