For the last week when I sign into my hotmail account it takes me to Oultlook instead of hotmail.  I am unable to open any of my emails.  How do I get it to go back to hotmail?

    Once the switch to Outlook.com happens for an account, there is no going back, period.

    It won't happen (at least at this point in time), so if you wish to continue using Outlook.com/Hotmail and are having difficulty, why not post a detailed description of the problem and people should be able to help address it.

    Hi All,

    We understand your frustrations about the Outlook.com user interface. We recognize how you like Hotmail interface so much but at this point, we are upgrading all Hotmail users to Outlook.com and plans were shared when we launched Outlook.com preview.

    You can post your feedback on the link that was provided by Brian Tillman. For more information, you can refer to this article “Why am I seeing Outlook.com instead of Hotmail when I log in?”

    If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

    Thank you.
