We will also learn how to convert Hotmail emails to EML, PDF, and HTML format. In this post, we will learn how to backup Hotmail emails. To avoid these scenarios, it has become necessary to keep a copy of the Hotmail data in the local machine. There have been many incidents where users have lost their Hotmail data. It is a web service by which any user can access it from anywhere in the world by the interconnected web browser.īut like any other email service, Hotmail users are also at risk of hacking. In 2013, Microsoft rebranded Hotmail to. It will even filter IMAP mail with body text if you want.Hotmail was one of the first webmail services. Gmail's Google search within mail, sorry to say, isn't that great. Windows Live Mail requires the installation of Windows Desktop Search (WHAT?!) just to search full-body text. Outlook Express' way of doing it sucks ass. You can search just subjects or the entire body of mails easily. T-bird has the best e-mail searching capability, period. All attachments are on the right and not 'fancied' up. The way in which t-bird does attachments is stupidly easy and makes perfect sense. The only other e-mail - and I kid you not - that can do plain text properly is Yahoo mail. And it's true plain text not that 'switch your proportional font to courier' b.s. T-bird 'out of the box' will do plain text reading and writing happily. You would not believe how unbelievably difficult it is to get e-mail read and composed in plain text without 'fooling' the client into doing it when not using t-bird. Things Thunderbird does better than anything else I've tried a lot of different e-mail over the years. Windows Live Domains was okay and had no problems but didn't feel like paying for a Hotmail Plus account to get rid of the ads, so I switched back to Mozilla Thunderbird. Gmail ticked me off (royally), switched to Windows Live Domains (Hotmail). Mozilla Thunderbird came about and I used that for a wicked long time.

Yahoo mail ticked me off, went back to Outlook Express. Hotmail ticked me off, junked it and went with Yahoo mail.

Upgraded to Outlook Express and used that for a wicked long time.

I first started with POP using Microsoft Mail And Internet News. After a few days back on mozilla thunderbird.īefore I get into t-bird, a history of me and e-mail:
