Get a permanent e-mail address When you create a Hotmail account, you choose a permanent e-mail address that will never change as long as you continue to use Hotmail. This is great for people who:
- Want to switch Internet Service Providers. Your Hotmail address will be the same no matter how you access the Internet, so you don't have to worry about retrieving messages from your old address or notifying friends, family and associates of a new e-mail address. You are free to select any Internet Service Provider that suits your needs.
- Are thinking about changing jobs. If you switch jobs, you lose access to the e-mail account provided by your employer. Hotmail offers a way to communicate with important contacts.
- Leave School. When you leave school for the summer, travel abroad or graduate, you may no longer have access to your school e-mail account. With Hotmail, your friends will always know where to reach you.
