I've utilized Hotmail from the late 90s. Every one of my loved ones utilize Gmail and I feel like a dinosaur with inconvenient old Hotmail. Aside from appearing as though I've at long last entered the 21st century, what are the advantages of changing from Hotmail to Gmail? What's more, given everybody I've ever known has my Hotmail address, and I have such a significant number of old messages in my Hotmail inbox, how on earth might I be able to switch?
I was one of Gmail's first open clients in 2004 and spent 10 years prescribing Hotmail clients to switch. I nearly exchanged in 2013, yet the two administrations have changed a great deal from that point forward. I currently figure you ought to have the two administrations, with one going about as a reinforcement, however you could likewise back up to Yahoo.
In a perfect world, you should utilize your own space name for your primary address. Lamentably, neither Hotmail nor Gmail gives that element free, however to some degree you can counterfeit it with a nom de plume. See underneath … .
Hotmail and Outlook.com
Today, I can at any rate ensure that you are not utilizing Hotmail. Microsoft shut that administration years back, and all Hotmail clients are utilizing its present administration at Outlook.com. In fact, Outlook.com is more current than Gmail, however the two administrations are refreshed very every now and again.
You are, obviously, as yet utilizing a Hotmail address. Be that as it may, in the event that you changed to utilizing another Outlook.com address, you would in any case be utilizing the very same email benefit. Truth be told, the least complex approach to evacuate the Hotmail "shame" is include an Outlook.com address and utilize both from a similar post box.

To do this, sign into Hotmail and afterward glue https://account.live.com/AddAssocId into the address bar. (You can get to it through the full Settings page, Email, Sync email and so on yet it's confused.) Create a nom de plume in the shape myname@outlook.com, and set this as your essential email address.

You would now be able to utilize the same inbox to send messages from both your old Hotmail and your new Outlook.com locations, and switch between them.
On the off chance that you email everybody from your Outlook.com address, a great many people will begin utilizing it in the end. In any case, anything sent to your Hotmail address will in any case touch base in the same inbox, so it doesn't generally make a difference. Microsoft has upheld Hotmail addresses since it purchased the administration in 1997, and I don't expect it will ever quit supporting them.
Note that you can likewise include assumed names for any of your old email addresses. This may be convenient in the event that you have one you once in a while utilize. Set it to forward every single approaching email to your Hotmail/Outlook.com inbox and answer from that point.
Gmail v Hotmail
In the first place, Gmail had a few critical preferences over Hotmail. The primary one was that it offered 500 fold the amount of capacity: 1GB! Gmail additionally had much better hunt and spam blocking, and it worked like an application instead of a HTML website page. (HoTMaiL got its name from HTML.) This made Gmail quicker and more responsive.
Numerous cycles later, the two administrations are considerably nearer. I like the way that you can set up Outlook.com to work much like Outlook, the email program from Microsoft Office. Outlook.com still has envelopes rather than Gmail's marks. Outlook.com even has the edge in offering more stockpiling. The two administrations presently give 15GB. Be that as it may, Outlook.com's email stockpiling is notwithstanding the free 5GB you get with OneDrive, while Gmail imparts its 15GB to Google Drive.
Right now, I favor Gmail. It's still quicker; its inquiry and spam-blocking still work better. In particular, Gmail still paginates messages, which implies I can without much of a stretch skip from the second page of list items to p500 (messages 24,951-25,000). This is helpful when you have at least 250,000 messages in your inbox. You'll never look back to 2004.
