Hello Everyone,

I can understand that you all want to switch back to the Hotmail interface after it has been automatically upgraded to Outlook. However, just like what the previous moderators have said, the option to switch back to Hotmail is no longer available once your account has been automatically upgraded. All Hotmail users will eventually be upgraded to Outlook.com and users who were upgraded automatically were sent notification messages concerning the upcoming upgrade.

In addition to that, I would like to inform you that Microsoft is upgrading its systems in order to serve everyone better. The new Outlook.com UI is the upgrade for the email system and it has a similar user interface with Windows 8. This has been done by Microsoft in order to cope up with the neverending changes and upgrades in the cyberworld.

We also appreciate all of the feedback that has been provided in this thread. If you want to submit a feedback for things that needs to be improved in the new Outlook.com, kindly refer to Denise_T.'s post here for the link to our feedback page.

You can refer to the articles below to know more about Outlook.com:

I will now be locking this thread.

Thank you.

    To the moderators of Hotmail:  If this is going to be a definite change over can you please change the look of the new outlook?  The previous complainers are right.  The new colors and the sterile look is very  antique looking like when computer programming was new.  It is difficult to read and seems backwards not forwards. It is NOT user friendly and lacks personality.  Thank you.

    Hi,

    We request you to provide the following information to isolate the issue:

    • Does the issue persist when using a different internet browser?

    • Does it also persist when using a different computer?

    As an initial troubleshooting, I advise you to optimize your browser to make sure it is not causing the issue. Please make sure that the browser you are using is up to date.

    Optimize your browser

    Thanks.
