Hi mindaugas laucius,
I'm sorry to inform you we don't have the ability to revert back to the classic version of Hotmail. All hotmail accounts have already been updated to use the new and Improved Hotmail Webmail.
Thanks!
sorry to say since I went to OUTLOOK I have problems constantly signing in to get my e-mail. I may be forced to switch to another site!!

Time to get a gmail account now I guess. :/
It has been made clear long ago that Live Hotmail is gone so, yeah, I find these questions about reverting tiresome. However, I beg of you explain to me how it is "improved". Does that cover simple so called "themes", lack of font colours, being unable to forward email with one click, maybe being unable to flag messages in the outbox? No! I know, it must be the ugly emoticons! Actually, the only "improvement" I see is the addition of the font Calibri (which, by the way, is displayed incorrectly and ugly in systems that lack the font and that's not that small of a number because Windows and MICRO$OFT aren't the centre of the universe). The term I'd use would be "...has been downgraded" :)

I can't tell what has been read and what hasn't in the new version. It doesn't say how many new? I hate the new one
the newer version of outlook sucks!
