️ Like many Microsoft products, Hotmail.com’s name has changed a time or two. The difference ha caused a great deal of confusion. I’ll try to make sense of it all.

️ Where is Hotmail.com and what is Outlook.com?
Hotmail has been rebranded multiple times and is now Outlook.com. Your old Hotmail account and emails should still be accessible via Outlook.com despite the name changes. If emails are missing, it might be due to account hacks or other issues, not the rebranding itself. Check Outlook support if problems persist.
