How do you change the view of your email entry?
It is totally understandable that, getting used to the classic version of the inbox, they want to return to it. Changing the view of your email entry is actually quite easy. If this is your case, follow the instructions and you will see how simple it is:
First, log into your Hotmail account . Then in the upper right you will find an icon in the shape of a gear. It is from “Settings” and you must press it.
Una vez allí, deslízate hacia abajo hasta encontrar la opción de “Ver toda la información de Outlook”. Selecciona la casilla que diga “Diseño”.
De ahí, dirígete a “Bandeja de Entrada Prioritarios”. Te aparecerán las opciones de “Ordenar mensajes en Prioritarios y Otros”, y de bajo de esta “No ordenar mis mensajes”, la cual es la que debes seleccionar. Haz clic en guardar, ¡Y listo!
Outlook tiene muchas opciones diferentes para cambiar el diseño y organizar tu bandeja de entrada, sin embargo, no todas estas opciones son tan prácticas en la versión antigua.
So, in case you want to switch back to the Hotmail interface design , you must go to the “Settings” gear and then scroll until you find the option to “Go back to the old version of your Hotmail mail”, select it, and that’s it. .
With this you can continue using the Hotmail layout from Outlook . You can also change the email address to your old domain. To start, you need to delete the current email address like this:
First, go to the page and log into Outlook email , then scroll to the bottom where you will find “Other email addresses”. Your current email address will appear and, below it, the “Remove” button.
Once you select it, you will have to confirm by clicking on “Remove”. You will receive notification that “You have removed an email address from your Microsoft account . “
From there it only remains to create the new address. Now, go to Microsoft Live. Go to “Create a new email address”
Then, select the “New Microsoft account” box, where and where it indicates, write your old email address. Choose Hotmail or Live, depending on the domain you used.
Click on “Save” and when you receive the notification that ” You have changed your Microsoft account” and your new Microsoft account is [the address you entered] it means that it is ready.
