A few days ago my Hotmail e-mail account suddenly switch to the "Outlook" mail & layout (where the little blue line fills in across the screen under the "Outlook" icon....) I hate it! Why did it change & HOW CAN I SWITCH BACK TO THE OLD HOTMAIL FORMAT I WAS COMFORTABLE WITH ALL THESE YEARS???

I want my sweep option to be back, and you said there is no way to get back that old interface.
at one time we can sweep only one particular mail. But in old interface we can delete or sweep multiple mails.
kindly let me know if there is a way.
Thanking you,

NO amount of Sorry from Sachin... is going to make us feel any better. 440 millions users?? That's a **** of a LOT of HATE. And I too I HATE THIS FORMAT & now use my regular MicroWorst Office Outlook 2007 for all my emails. Hotmail & the soon to be changed Gmail & no doubt Yahooo... Sayonara.. Goodbye!!
Then one option is to route the new "downgraded" hotmail account to gmail account. Gmail are not doing this kind of downgrade...
And who decided in microsoft that they should use resources on this type of "downgrade"? It is totally impossible to understand, when the old version was working ok, in hard contrast to the new version.
All major free email service are constantly updating there look and feel every 2 to 3 years tops. If you want to keep an email account with all the same function forever you should get a paid service. Cheers!
Actually I volunteer on Gmail as well as here and there are some changes coming to Gmail as well
