What happens to the @hotmail.fr address?

pimprenelle27 hello, thank you, I have Skype and I'm using my Hotmail ID, but once MSN is gone on March 15, will the inbox remain or not, because on Skype I don't see if I have any messages??

but as Bruce Willix says, whom I also thank for his answer
It's the site's interface that will be changed... so it's possible after that??

We need to distinguish several things...

First, the confusion surrounding the term MSN, which actually does not refer to something unique. MSN is a website, a service, a framework, and it is also the common abbreviation for MSN Messenger. On the MSN site, one can connect to the email service: hotmail. In short, let's avoid the term MSN.

Microsoft acquired Skype and merged the Messenger and Skype services. To make it simple, once the migration is complete, if you want to chat, it will be with Skype and no longer with Messenger. Skype being far superior to Messenger in terms of features and call quality, everyone benefits.

On the other hand, Microsoft is graphically unifying its email platforms: hotmail will change its look and resemble Outlook as it is in Windows 8. Here too, the migration is easy (I recommend doing it quickly to get used to the interface).

These interface changes do not affect the substance: there will always be a site to view your messages, and the @hotmail.XXX email addresses will not disappear/change as a result.

Bruce Willix hello, thank you for the clarification, madam will be reassured @+

Yes, it's outlook.com, that's what we're talking about.

Hello

Microsoft has indeed bombarded us with announcements about this.

No, your Hotmail address is not going to disappear; it does not belong to Microsoft, it is your property, and no one else can dispose of it.

There are a multitude of email interfaces like Outlook, Incredimail, Thunderbird, etc., that will do just as well as Windows Live Mail if it should also disappear.

Best regards.

And I think my explanation is clear as well. If only the participants could read before posting...

Where is the notion of property in what you are saying?

Could you please read what the speakers say before saying that it would be good for the speakers to read before posting, please (sarcastic mode ^^)?

I beg your pardon? Why are you talking about ownership? Ownership of what?

I am just pointing out that sweethorn has been complaining about an issue whose resolution has been explained for nearly 6 days in the very post where he/she is complaining. Therefore, if he or she had taken the time to read the discussion, he or she would not have posted their question.

Best regards,
