HOTMAIL emails issue

Hello, 

Can you tell us more about your concern? To get started, I'd like to ask what do you mean when you said your hotmail.com shifted to outlook.com? Does your email address change? Also, do you have connected account on your Outlook.com?

Noted that you didn't make any changes, I'd like to ask if you remember adding an alias in Outlook.com? Adding an alias will let you use a new email address with your existing account that used the same inbox, contact list, and account settings. Check this for more information. Also, are you able to log in your Hotmail account without encounter any error messages?

In the meantime, I’d recommend checking the Microsoft Office Online Services status here to double check if it’s a result of a possible server issue with the Outlook.com website. Also, you may check this article for other possible troubleshooting steps.

To notify us and have us get back to you, simply reply to this post. 

hello,

i was using my hotmail email address when all off a sudden it stopped working, when i try to login it states that this account does not exist. however, when i use @outlook instead of hotmail the email opens with the same pw associated with previous account, when i never created outlook account. 

i am not receiving emails associated with my old account.

i tried adding alias after i lost my hotmail account. i tries to add my hotmail account as an alias and it shows no record of the previous account.

Hotmail was renamed to Outlook.com back in 2012 - seven years ago. There was no "recent" change from hotmail.com to Outlook.com. The exact same @hotmail.com address you used yesterday, a week ago, a month ago, or five years ago still works today. No one changed the address so that it ends in @outlook.com and it can't happen without you explicitly making the change. In fact, xyz@hotmail.com is a completely different address than xyz@outlook.com and uses a completely different mailbox. So, if you used to log in with an address ending in @hotmail.com and are not logging in with an address ending in @outlook.com, you're not using the same account any more and of course you won't see the same mail.
