Microsoft Account Sign up Guide

Yesterday I received a call from a friend asking how to set up a Hotmail email account on her new iPhone. The Outlook web site gives you a typical web-mail interface, with options for reading, writing and organising your emails. If - like me - you haven't used your Hotmail account for a while then you'll see a Welcome email with advice on how to get started with the new service, and how to import emails and contact info from other email services.

You will see the initial name and final name ladled textual content fields. You'll be able to opt the Hotmail username of your own desire. Hotmail will permit you to select the username you have selected if it's not already taken by some other person.

To improve security, the requirement for the minimum length of the password is 8 characters (there is different between Uppercase and Lowercase). In addition, users are recommended not to set easily-predicted password such as 12345678, etc. to avoid losing Hotmail account.

Now can now open your new Hotmail account on the web or even can set it up to access in email programs on their computers and mobile devices. Usually, the users only requite to enter the Hotmail email address and password to setup entrée to their messages in an email program or their mobile device app.

This wasn't that helpful to me when I initially started, since my contacts resided in Microsoft Outlook. However, I had a GMail account, so I just exported my contacts from Outlook and then imported them into Gmail. It worked flawlessly. However, if you get stuck, forget this step. You can add your friends later.

The basic method involves entering a fake name and personal information when creating a Hotmail, Outlook, or Gmail account. This approach won't get you complete privacy, and you'll need a personal phone number to verify your account. But, it'll grant you more privacy than your standard account.

If you ever need to be able to do really comprehensive email analysis, and then deliver email to clients or a court, having a FileMaker database of your messages could be a win. It's been updated to be High Sierra-compatible. Just make sure you get version 4.1 or greater.

Now fast-forward to 2005. Microsoft announced a new set of services and products that were designed to extend the user experience on Windows. This hotmail.com sign up new suite was called Windows Live, which you might recognize in products like the now open source Windows Live Writer and Windows Live Essentials.
