The latest version of Microsoft’s free web-based e-mail is now widely available to the public in 36 languages.
Window Live Hotmail, which officially became available last Monday, spot a new look and feature similar to Microsoft’s desktop-based Outlook program, including the ability to drag and drop messages into folders.
Microsoft also said it improved the spam and fraud protection features in the online e-mail service.
Microsoft said more than 280 million people worldwide use the old MSN Hotmail service. The company has rebranded a mish-mash of websites and programs using the “Live” name, but kept the Hotmail brand in this case to avoid confusing existing users, Microsoft said in a February blog post.
The makeover, which includes 2GB of data storage and built-in instant messaging, brings Live Hotmail in line with offerings from competitors, Yahoo! and Google.
Microsoft also said a mobile version of Live Hotmail is available. -AP
