Vista - switch from windows live to regular msn hotmail

How can I switch from windows live back to msn hotmail?

The options button only changes from windows live to windows live full
version, but how about from windows live to msn hotmail?

MSN Hotmail is no more, so there is no way to switch back. All that you can
do is to use the link labeled, "Try the classic version". It is supposed to
be faster on dial-up connections, but it is still Windows Live Hotmail.

MSN Hotmail is still there.

I use Hotmail which I normally access via Outlook 2003 with the MS Office
Outlook Connector. Presently, I can access the same emails via Windows Live
Mail, Hotmail and Outlook. They all have the same folders and emails. If
one is deleted in one program the deletion occurs in the others (after a
mail cycle with OL or WLM).

Incidently, I installed WLM on a second computer and it sync'd and is
identical to the others. It took a while on the first run to download all
the emails. Fortunately I have a 15/2M connection.

There is no "MSN Hotmail" web site. There is no way to switch back from
"Windows Live Hotmail" to "MSN Hotmail". There is only the option to switch
between the "Full", and "Classic" views of Windows Live Mail.

Granted, the client server name is still,
"http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp"; but that is just how
the client accesses the mail server. A web client will *always* be
redirected to "Windows Live Hotmail". Can't be undone, now that it has been
changed on the server end.

> How can I switch from windows live back to msn hotmail?I have 2 accounts, the old one takes me to MSN Hotmail and I assure you it
still works great! The new account however, redirects me to Windows Live
Hotmail which is loaded with script errors and glitches. On the Live
interface, the opt out button for optional offers does not work, nor do the
account preference pages. It seems as though they have designed the new site
to be browser specific, in other words you must have the lastest version of
IE or you may not be able to use the site. In the Windows Live interface
there is no option to switch back.. though they have deliberately covered up
part of the inbox logo on my old account with an enourmous green button which
says, Get Windows Live Hotmail. Heh.. I browse a dozen sites a day and I
have no browser problems. Windows Live Hotmail is one of the worst sites I
have ever been to in my entire history of computer programming. To fix the
problems I have with the site and to opt out from the spam mail they send, I
would be forced to download the latest version of IE. One might suspect thier
intentions are criminal in this case. The old MSN hotmail works great, I just
used it this morning and praised them via the feedback form. They should
dissolve the entire staff at Windows Live Hotmail, and the entire site along
with them.. while returning Hotmail to MSN where it belongs!

Not sure why you are posting this here, since Windows Live Hotmail
is not a topic that is covered in this newsgroup.
Try the MSN.Discussion newsgroup.

Hotmail has two interfaces. Hotmail **is** Windows Live Hotmail
Full or Classic.
Both are Windows Live Hotmail.

Classic has less features, no drag and drop and less configurable options the most notable among others.

The only other available option for a hotmail/live/msn.com account is Windows Live Hotmail Plus! @$20/yr, providing no ads and pop3/smtp capability. The latter only for non partner and non MSn Premium accounts.

The correct forum for MSn/Hotmail discussion is:
