How to abandon Windows Live Mail and MSN Hotmail to return
Many do not like Windows Live Mail 's evolution of Hotmail (based on ajax technology) that Microsoft is trying to introduce for several months already, so often that many are wondering how and if we can get back to good old Hotmail, perhaps more Spartan but certainly easier and faster.
Fortunately, at least for now, back to MSN Hotmail is possible with a few simple steps that you list below:
- Go to Windows Live Mail beta
- If you have the full version of Windows Live Mail proceed as follows otherwise go directly to the next:
a. In the top right select "Options => More Options ..."
b. The options page shows a Introductory message that reads:You're using the full version of Windows Live Hotmail
Click here to try the classic version, not suitable for fast connections.
You can also switch to MSN Hotmail.c. Click on "switch to MSN Hotmail"
- If you have the classic version of Windows Live Mail (which is somewhat 'lighter version of) the procedure is slightly different:
a. In the top right select "Options"
b. The options page shows a Introductory message that reads:You're using the classic version of Windows Live Hotmail
You have a fast connection and want more features? Try the full version to see previews of messages in your Inbox (even this version is free).
You can also switch to MSN Hotmail.c. Click on "switch to MSN Hotmail"
- A message will appear when you ask Microsoft not to do this reckless action and reconsider:
We're sorry that you are not satisfied with Windows Live Hotmail. We are still working to improve the service.
Give us another chance to customize Windows Live Hotmail just for you.
But you do not have demordere: date your final confirmation by clicking on the button "Back to the previous version"
- You thought it was over? Perhaps! At this point you are asked to participate in a survey to indicate the reasons for your decision and could help Microsoft to improve the service.
You see how you respond, in any case the important thing is that then arrive at the final page in which give the final confirmation and will finally redirected to the dear old Hotmail.
