Sjećate li se korištenja Microsoftove^(Microsoft) usluge e -pošte Hotmail ? Tijekom godina, Microsoft je nudio razne usluge e-pošte u oblaku koje je nekoliko puta rebrendirao.

Ovi rebrandovi postaju još zbunjujući kada pratite Microsoftov prijelaz s Microsoft Hotmaila^{(Microsoft Hotmail)} , na Live Mail i konačno na web-aplikaciju Outlook .

MSN Hotmail – Što se dogodilo?

Godine 1996., kada su web-based email servisi tek dobivali popularnost, Sabeer Bhatia i Jack Smith pokrenuli su Hotmail web servis. Jedina druga velika usluga e-pošte u to vrijeme bila je America Online ( AOL ).

Ovo je bila jedna od prvih usluga e-pošte u oblaku koja je korisnicima omogućila prijavu na Hotmail putem potpuno funkcionalnog web klijenta koji su mogli koristiti putem svog web preglednika.

Godine 1997. Microsoft je kupio Hotmail i rebrendirao ga u MSN Hotmail .

MSN Hotmail je prikupio ogromnu korisničku bazu. Zatim, 2005., Microsoft je redizajnirao cjelokupnu uslugu web-pošte i rebrendirao je kao jedan proizvod u svojoj ponudi Windows Live . Nazivao se Windows Live Hotmail .

Prijelaz za toliko korisnika potrajao je neko vrijeme. Mnogi korisnici su se žalili na promjene. I godinama su korisnici na Googleu^(Google) nastavili tražiti svoju stranicu " Prijava na Hotmail " - zbunjeni dramatičnom promjenom dizajna u Windows Live .

Da stvar bude još složenija, Microsoft je 2012. godine u potpunosti ukinuo Windows Live Hotmail (zajedno sa cijelim Windows Liveom^{(Windows Live)} ).

Što se tiče njihove ponude web-pošte temeljene na oblaku, Microsoft se ponovno potpuno rebrendirao s Outlook.com .

Outlook.com u odnosu na Outlook Desktop

Korisnici često (netočno) nazivaju Outlook Online , Outlook.com je bio posljednji Microsoftov pokušaj da objedini usluge e-pošte pod svojim jedinstvenim brendom poznatim kao Outlook .

Nažalost, ovo je postalo vrlo zbunjujuće za korisnike koji su se već dobro navikli na Microsoftov klijent baziran na desktopu, već poznat kao Outlook .

Microsoft je pokušao olakšati prijelaz održavajući sve različite račune e-pošte koje su korisnici koristili tijekom svake generacije svojih proizvoda, uključujući:

@hotmail.com
@live.com
@msn.com
@passport.com

Kada bi drugi korisnici Microsofta^(Microsoft) primali e-poštu od osoba s tim računima, pretpostavili su da također mogu stvoriti vlastite račune e-pošte s istom uslugom. Kada su tražili stranicu za prijavu za Hotmail ili Microsoft Live , više nisu mogli pronaći te web stranice.

Čak i danas, ako upišete “hotmail.com” ili “live.com” u svoj web-preglednik, bit ćete preusmjereni na outlook.live.com , što je trenutna Microsoftova^(Microsoft) usluga web-pošte označena kao Outlook.com .

Office 365 Webmail

Da stvar bude još kompliciranija, Microsoft je 2011. lansirao proizvod poznat kao Office 365 .

Ovaj se proizvod posebno plasirao na tržište tvrtkama koje traže jednostavan način da zaposlenicima pruže sve Office proizvode koji su im potrebni u okviru jednostavnog plana pretplate za poduzeća.

Zabuna dolazi od činjenice da je 2015. Microsoft kombinirao stolne uredske proizvode kao i svoju kolekciju web aplikacija pod zajedničkim zaštitnim brendom Office 365 . Ove web-aplikacije uključivale su web-aplikaciju Outlook Mail .

Ako biste otišli na Outlook.com i registrirali se samo za račun e-pošte na webu kod Microsofta^(Microsoft) , vidjet ćete isto sučelje web klijenta kao što ćete vidjeti ako se prijavite za pretplatu na Office 365 i koristite Web aplikacija Outlook Mail .

Zapravo, ako se prijavite pod istim Microsoftovim^(Microsoft) računom, vidjet ćete isti pretinac e-pošte.

To je zato što je usluga e-pošte koja se temelji na webu koja rukuje dolaznom i odlaznom e-poštom Outlook.com , dok je sama web aplikacija poznata kao Outlook Mail, kojoj se pristupa putem Office 365 ili jednostavno posjetom outlook.com.

U oba slučaja, završni URL na kojem ćete se naći je outlook.live.com .

Čitanje e-pošte^(Email) s vašeg Outlook.com računa^{(Outlook.com Account)} s Outlookom^(Outlook)

Ako vam je sve ovo zbunjujuće, niste sami.

Srećom, postoji jedan način da sve bude razvrstano, tako da jednostavno koristite svoj Outlook desktop klijent za povlačenje svih e-poruka koje stignu na vaš Outlook.com račun.

To možete učiniti tako da omogućite POP pristup na svom Outlook.com računu, a zatim povežete svoj Outlook desktop klijent za preuzimanje e-pošte s te usluge.

Postavite ^(Set)Outlook.com da omogući POP veze^{(POP Connections)}

Prijavite^(Log) se na svoj Outlook.com račun e-pošte. Kliknite^(Click) na ikonu zupčanika^{(gear icon)} u blizini svoje profilne slike za unos postavki računa. Na dnu ploče Brze postavke kliknite ^(Quick)Prikaži sve postavke programa Outlook^{(View all Outlook settings)} .

U navigacijskom oknu ovog skočnog prozora kliknite na Sinkroniziraj e-poštu^{(Sync email)} . Pomaknite se prema dolje do odjeljka postavki POP i IMAP .^{(POP
and IMAP)}

U ovom prozoru podesite sljedeće postavke:

Postavite Dopusti uređajima i aplikacijama da koriste POP^{(Let devices and apps use POP)} na Da^(Yes) .
Omogućite Neka aplikacije i uređaji brišu poruke iz Outlooka^{(Let apps and devices delete messages
from Outlook)} .
Zabilježite postavku POP^{(POP setting)} i SMT postavke^{(SMT settings)} .
Kliknite Spremi^(Save) za potvrdu promjena.

Sada je vaš Outlook.com račun konfiguriran da omogući vašem Outlookovom^(Outlook) desktop klijentu da povlači e-poštu s vašeg web-baziranog računa.

Konfigurirajte Outlook Desktop Client

Otvorite Outlook na stolnom računalu.

Ako se od vas zatraži da se prijavite na svoj Microsoftov^(Microsoft) račun, kliknite Napredne opcije^{(Advanced Options)} i označite potvrdni okvir pored Dopusti mi da ručno postavim svoj račun^{(Let me set up my account manually)} . Zatim kliknite gumb Poveži^(Connect) .

U skočnom prozoru odaberite POP s popisa veza.

Napomena ^(Note): Zašto ne biste odabrali Office 365 ili Outlook.com? Ako to učinite, moći ćete čitati e-poštu sa svog mrežnog Outlook računa, ali nećete moći natjerati da vaš klijent e-pošte briše e-poštu s tog računa.^{(: Why not select Office 365 or Outlook.com? If you do this, you’ll be
able to read emails from your online Outlook account, but you won’t be able to
have your email client delete emails from that account.)}

Upišite lozinku za svoj Outlook.com račun i kliknite Poveži^(Connect) .

Vidjet ćete prozor u koji trebate unijeti postavke POP računa^{(POP Account Settings)} . Ispunite ^(Fill)POP postavke za POP i^(POP) SMTP koje^(SMTP) ste snimili kada ste omogućili POP pristup iznad.

Kliknite Dalje^(Next) za nastavak. Unesite lozinku za svoj Outlook.com račun.

Trebali biste vidjeti prozor s obavijesti o uspješno dodanom računu . ^{(Account successfully added)}Kliknite gumb Gotovo^(Done) da biste završili postavljanje.

^(Outlook) Otvorit će se radna površina programa Outlook . Kada se sljedeći put osvježi, vidjet ćete kako vaše Outlook.com poruke e-pošte stižu u pristiglu poštu^(Inbox) .

Ako ustanovite da se pristigla pošta ne ažurira dovoljno brzo, možete podesiti učestalost da Outlook češće dohvaća vaše e-poruke.

Uraditi ovo:

Kliknite izbornik Datoteka^(File)
Kliknite Opcije^(Options)
U skočnom prozoru Opcije^(Options) kliknite Napredno^(Advanced) u lijevom oknu
Pomaknite se prema dolje do odjeljka Slanje i primanje i kliknite ^{(Send and receive)}Send/Receive
U odjeljku Svi računi^{(All Accounts)} promijenite Schedule an automatic send/receive every postavke s 30 minuta na kraći vremenski interval

Prijelaz na Outlook.com

Ako ste jedan od mnogih korisnika koji još uvijek imaju Hotmail.com ili Live.com adresu e-pošte, možete započeti prijelaz na korištenje Outlook.com adrese e-pošte dodavanjem pseudonima e-pošte na svoj račun.

Ovaj novi Outlook.com^{(Outlook.com)} račun možete dodati na sljedeći način:

Klikom na sliku vašeg profila i klikom na Pregled računa^{(View Account)} .
Na stranici računa kliknite Vaši podaci^{(Your info)} .
Kliknite Upravljanje e-poštom ili telefonskim brojem za prijavu^{(Manage your sign-in email or phone number)} .
U odjeljku Aliasi računa^{(Account aliases)} kliknite Dodaj e-poštu^(Add
email) .

Ovdje možete upisati pseudonim koji želite za svoju novu e-poštu na outlook.com i kliknuti Dodaj alias^{(Add alias)} da dodate novu e-poštu na svoj račun.

Kako biste bili sigurni da se e-poruke šalju pomoću ovog novog aliasa:

Kliknite^(Click) na ikonu zupčanika^(Gear) za unos postavki računa.
Kliknite na Opcije^(Options) ili Prikaži sve postavke programa Outlook^{(View All Outlook Settings)} .
U lijevom oknu odaberite Pošta^(Mail) , kliknite Računi^(Accounts) i odaberite Povezani računi^{(Connected Accounts)} . Ako ova opcija ne postoji, odaberite Pošta^(Mail) , a zatim Sinkroniziraj e-poštu^{(Sync Email)} .
Pronađite padajući okvir za promjenu adrese^(From) pošiljatelja i odaberite svoju novu e-poštu za Outlook.com .

Ovo će promijeniti vašu zadanu e-poštu iz Hotmail.com ili Live.com u vašu novu Outlook.com adresu. Ova mala promjena dovršit će vašu migraciju na isti Microsoftov^(Microsoft) račun e-pošte koji sada koriste svi ostali na svijetu!

Miss Hotmail? Microsoft Outlook Email Services Explained

Do you remembеr using Microsoft’s Hotmail email service? Throughout the years, Microsoft has offered a variety of cloud email serviceѕ that іt has rebranded several tіmes.

These rebrands become even more confusing when you follow Microsoft’s transition from Microsoft Hotmail, to Live Mail, and finally to the Outlook web app.

MSN Hotmail – What Happened?

In 1996, when web-based email services were just gaining popularity, Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith launched the Hotmail web service. The only other major email service at the time was America Online (AOL).

This was one of the first cloud-based email services that let users sign-in to Hotmail through a fully-functional web client they could use through their web browser.

In 1997, Microsoft acquired Hotmail and rebranded it as MSN Hotmail.

MSN Hotmail amassed a huge user base. Then, in 2005, Microsoft redesigned the entire webmail service, and rebranded it as one product in its Windows Live offering. It was referred to as Windows Live Hotmail.

The transition for so many users took some time. Many users complained about the changes. And for years, users continued searching on Google for their “Hotmail login” page – confused by the dramatic design change to Windows Live.

To make matters even more complicated, Microsoft discontinued Windows Live Hotmail entirely (along with all of Windows Live) in 2012.

As for their cloud-based webmail offering, Microsoft completely rebranded again with Outlook.com.

Outlook.com vs. Outlook Desktop

Frequently referred to (incorrectly) by users as Outlook Online, Outlook.com was Microsoft’s final attempt to consolidate email services under its single brand known as Outlook.

Unfortunately, this became very confusing for users who were already well-accustomed to Microsoft’s desktop-based client, already known as Outlook.

Microsoft tried to ease the transition by maintaining all the various email accounts users had used throughout every generation of its products, including:

@hotmail.com
@live.com
@msn.com
@passport.com

When other Microsoft users would receive emails from people with these accounts, they assumed they could also create their own email accounts with the same service. When they searched for the sign-in page for Hotmail or Microsoft Live, they couldn’t find those websites anymore.

Even today, if you type “hotmail.com” or “live.com” into your web browser, you’ll get redirected to outlook.live.com, which is the current Microsoft webmail service branded as Outlook.com.

Office 365 Webmail

To make matters even more complicated, in 2011 Microsoft launched a product known as Office 365.

This product was especially marketed to businesses looking for an easy way to provide employees with all the Office products they need, under a simple enterprise subscription plan.

The confusion comes from the fact that in 2015, Microsoft combined desktop office products as well as its collection of web apps under the common brand umbrella Office 365. These web apps included the Outlook Mail web app.

If you were to go to Outlook.com and sign up for just a web-based email account with Microsoft, you’ll see the same exact web client interface as you’ll see if you sign up for an Office 365 subscription and use the Outlook Mail web app.

In fact, if you sign in under the same Microsoft account, you’ll see the same exact email inbox.

This is because ultimately the web-based email service handling the incoming and outgoing emails is Outlook.com, while the web app itself is known as Outlook Mail, accessed via Office 365 or simply by visiting outlook.com.

In either case, the final URL you’ll find yourself on is outlook.live.com.

Reading Email from Your Outlook.com Account with Outlook

If you find this all confusing, you aren’t alone.

Thankfully, there’s one way to keep everything sorted, by just using your Outlook desktop client to pull in all emails that arrive in your Outlook.com account.

You can do this by enabling POP access on your Outlook.com account, and then connecting your Outlook desktop client to pull emails from that service.

Set up Outlook.com to Allow POP Connections

Log into your Outlook.com email account. Click on the gear icon near your profile picture to enter account settings. At the bottom of the Quick settings panel, click on View all Outlook settings.

In the navigation pane of this pop-up window, click on Sync email. Scroll down to the POP and IMAP settings section.

In this window, adjust the following settings:

Set Let devices and apps use POP to Yes.
Enable Let apps and devices delete messages from Outlook.
Make note of the POP setting and SMT settings.
Click Save to confirm changes.

Now your Outlook.com account is configured to allow your Outlook desktop client to pull emails from your web-based account.

Configure Outlook Desktop Client

Open Outlook on your desktop PC.

If you’re prompted to log into your Microsoft account, click on Advanced Options, and select the checkbox next to Let me set up my account manually. Then, click the Connect button.

On the pop-up window, choose POP from the connection list.

Note: Why not select Office 365 or Outlook.com? If you do this, you’ll be able to read emails from your online Outlook account, but you won’t be able to have your email client delete emails from that account.

Type the password for your Outlook.com account and click Connect.

You’ll see a window where you need to enter POP Account Settings. Fill in the POP settings for both POP and SMTP that you recorded when you enabled POP access above.

Click on Next to continue. Enter the password for your Outlook.com account.

You should see an Account successfully added notification window. Click the Done button to finish setup.

Outlook desktop will open. When it refreshes next, you’ll see your Outlook.com emails arriving in the Inbox.

If you find that the inbox isn’t updating fast enough, you can make the frequency that Outlook retrieves your emails more frequently.

To do this:

Click the File menu
Click Options
On the pop-up Options window, click on Advanced from the left pane
Scroll down to the Send and receive section and click Send/Receive
Under the All Accounts section, change the Schedule an automatic send/receive every setting from 30 minutes to a shorter time interval

Transitioning to Outlook.com

If you’re one of the many users who still have a Hotmail.com or Live.com email address, you can start to make the transition to using an Outlook.com email address by adding an email alias to your account.

You can add this new Outlook.com account as follows:

Clicking on your Profile picture and clicking on View Account.
On the account page, click on Your info.
Click on Manage your sign-in email or phone number.
In the Account aliases section, click Add email.

Here, you can type an alias you’d like for your new outlook.com email and click Add alias to add the new email to your account.

To make sure emails get sent using this new alias:

Click on the Gear icon to enter your account settings.
Click on Options or View All Outlook Settings.
In the left pane, choose Mail, click Accounts, and select Connected Accounts. If this option isn’t there, select Mail, then Sync Email.
Find the dropdown box to change the From address and choose your new Outlook.com email.

This will change your default email from Hotmail.com or Live.com to your new Outlook.com address. This small change will complete your migration to the same Microsoft email account everyone else in the world is now using!
