What is Hotmail?
After acquiring Hotmail in 1997, Microsoft rebranded it as a component of its service portfolio. Hotmail was eventually incorporated into Microsoft's Outlook platform and became a part of the broader Microsoft ecosystem. Hotmail addresses are still in use today, but the service is now run under Outlook.com. The contemporary Outlook interface is used by users with Hotmail email addresses to access their accounts.
