Hotmail is a computer program that manages composing, sending, and receiving emails, similar to Yahoo and Gmail. It was launched on May 7, 2007, by Microsoft. Hotmail, also known as Windows Live Hotmail, is a free webmail service provided by Microsoft as part of the Windows Live group of services.

It was designed to replace MSN Hotmail and offers several new features like 2 gigabytes of storage, automatic spell checking, custom filters, security features, integration with Windows Live Messenger, Spaces, Calendar, Contacts, and Ajax programming technology. Although not as popular as Yahoo and Gmail, Hotmail currently has 260 million users worldwide, supporting 36 language versions. It is known as one of the first webmail services and was created by Jack Smith and Sabeer Bhatia.

In 1997, Hotmail was sold to Microsoft for $400 million and joined the MSN service. Hotmail quickly became the largest webmail service in the world, with over 30 million users in 1999. To create a Hotmail account, users need to register and fill in the required information, such as full name, username, password, country, postal code, date of birth, gender, country code, and phone number.

By following these steps, users can easily create an account and start using the features and services offered by Hotmail. Hotmail is widely used worldwide due to its security features and the ability to load large files without any hassle. It ensures robust security by checking for suspicious messages and keeping them hidden until the user decides to open them.

It also warns users about potential deception and blocks potentially unsafe files from being downloaded. With its continuous updates and new features, Hotmail remains one of the leading webmail services, and Microsoft is committed to its growth in the future
