Another question if not changed to outlook and keeping hotmail, is it possible to add an alias to hotmail?

It would be good to have a response from Chris Jones or Dick Craddock, all I hear is complaints abt outlook, just like some of the comments below, The Rename your account option is not in Managing your account menu, and if found it also gives the "can not chnaged you account" message... is there any response? why to provide steps for a functionality that is not available? why to promote outlook experience if is not ready yet?

Why cant I access "more mail settings" when I click on options cog. All I get is a blank page. I wanted to change my hotmail address to outlook.com. If I try to rename my account in other ways it says "this e-mail account cannot be changed"

Hi there!

I switched to the new 'outlook'. However, the old email address still 'on'. I would like to know until when my old email address will be working.

I have had nothing but problems with my emails using Outlook so I switched back. It would take forever to access just one or it would tell me there's a problem. I would then check the link and it would say Outlook working as normal or whatever. It's not my computer since I have no problem accessing other sites. It's getting to the point where I am seriously thinking of switching to another email service.

Rename your e-mail address is not therem, it says "Upgrade to Ad-free Outlook". Which is a dead link.

They have fixed the limitation that made this necessary!!

You just go to your email accounts and change the default send to the new Outlook account.

I am super excited about this I was getting ready to reset my phone! Thanks MS team! :)

Thoroughly unusable in a busy work context. Slow, slow, slow, with irritating habits such as the "saving in drafts" before you've finished writing an email, then not letting you send it. Attachments painfully tedious to download; the graphics and colours are vile. Unable to create a group email address. Unable to delete more than one message at a time. Emails slow to open, and difficult to send. NOT IMPRESSED.

On the first one - no. You should use your new email @outlook.com

On the second one - yes. You should see @outlook.com, @hotmail.com and @live.com as potential options.

If you "Rename your account to an @outlook.com account", do you still sign in with your Hotmail email address?

If you "Rename your account to an @outlook.com account", can you add an @hotmail.com alias to your account?
