This will open a new window where we must enter the Hotmail or Outlook email address that we want to visit and click on the button Connect.
Then another window appears where we must enter password corresponding to the account.
Once this is done, a message should appear informing us that the account has been successfully added, so we can start using it. To do this, click on Done and restart the application for the changes to take effect. Once started again we will have our operating account available.
Access via web browser
Outlook has its own web service that we can access directly from our favorite browser and check our mail without using any application. This option is especially useful if we need to access the mail from a computer that is not the one we use regularly, which allows us to access the account without using any application.
To get started, simply open a web browser and visit the Outlook login page, where you’ll click the Login button.
Next, we enter our Email address. Then click on Next.
On the next screento write the Hotmai passwordl corresponding to the email to be able to access the account and click on Next.
Later, a message appears on the screen where it asks us if we want to stay logged in so you don’t have to start it again next time. This is only recommended if we access from our main computer, otherwise we mark no, since we should not leave our account on another PC available to other users.
Once done, we can have access to all the information in our mail, being able to send and receive messages or make any type of adjustment in our account.
Once finished to operate with our account is recommended Sign off, for which we click on the circle in the upper right, where two letters corresponding to our name and surname appear. When doing so, a drop-down menu appears where we select Sign out to return to the Outlook home page.
Use alternative clients
We also have the possibility of accessing our Hotmail or Outlook account through the use of third-party email clients that we can use as an alternative to the Outlook application.
