Am I eventually going lose the use of my Hotmail e-mail address??

Sorry if this has been asked and answered but I was wondering what will happen to my Hotmail e-mail address now that everything has shifted to "Outlook"!?!??

Will my Hotmail address keep working or is it going to simply stop one day??

They will keep working.

Do I have to get a new email address?

No. You can keep using your existing @hotmail.com, @live.com, or @msn.com address. Or you can get a new @outlook.com address.

The fact @msn addresses are still around shows they're in no hurry to migrate users to anything else.

Thanks! I clicked on everything I thought looked like might have the answer and still didn't see that!

They'll just keep them all working, they won't want another merger situation.
