I use an original Hotmail (hotmail.com) webmail account that dates back to 2001.
I read that Micro$oft are going to replace it with '
Lookout.Com' (sic):-
BBC News - Hotmail replaced by Outlook.com in Microsoft shake-up
As one of the declared reasons for this change is to manage cluttered inboxes, I fear that I might soon find my online archive will be erased.
I have no interest in the so-called '
benefits' of linking to Facefarce or any of the other 'social' sites - I just want things to remain exactly as they are . . .
How can I copy my (considerable) collection of messages (received and sent) to the relative safety of my computer hard drive (or whatever medium
I choose to use)?
I access my Hotmail account through my browser (Firefox, but I'm prepared to use Internet Explorer if that is necessary(.
The top left-hand corner of my opening page (that displays my Inbox messages) says
Windows Live (then
Hotmail then
Messenger, then
SkyDrive then
MSN) - does this mean that I have Windows Livemail? (I've found references to LiveMail versus Hotmail.)
I've never used the Microsoft Outlook (and never wanted to).
