Microsoft officially waved goodbye to Hotmail. Outlook users reached 400 million. Microsoft officially waved goodbye to the Hotmail era. Microsoft announced on Friday that it has completed the migration of all Hotmail users to Outlook, which currently has 400 million users. Microsoft also said Thursday that of the 400 million existing users, 125 million Outlook.com users can log in via mobile devices. Dick Craddock, the project manager responsible for Outlook, said that in order to ensure a positive user experience, they are listening to users' opinions extensively. The new version of Outlook has upgraded many functions based on the original Hotmail, including upgraded calendars, application software and integration with cloud services. Microsoft has already started integrating the improved version of Skydrive with Outlook.com, and the new Outlook.com service will also launch SMTP sending functions and integrate with the cloud storage service SkyDrive. In February this year, Microsoft claimed that Outlook.com had 60 million accounts. At that time, Microsoft had closed Hotmail and was switching users to Outlook.com. Existing Hotmail users can still use their original email addresses, but they can also apply to open an Outlook account.
