Although Hotmail email addresses still exist, Outlook.com has totally supplanted the Hotmail service. Users get unlimited storage, a calendar, contacts, Ajax, and tight integration with OneDrive, Office Online, and Skype while using Outlook.com.

One of the early webmail services was Hotmail. Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith founded Hotmail in 1996 in California. Microsoft bought the company in 1997 for $400 million and rebranded it as MSN Hotmail. The rebranding didn't end there; it was renamed Windows Live Hotmail before being renamed Outlook.com in 2013. As of 2014, Microsoft claims that the webmail had over 400 million active users.
