Steps below to perform this task



Now you can set up an Outlook.com account (formerly known as Hotmail or gamil) with your own current email address or personal domain and don’t necessarily have to use an @outlook.com address?


This allows you to both send and receive emails with an address which you already own, even if it is from another provider such as Gmail.


Using an Outlook.com account is the best alternative for your current POP3 or IMAP account if you want to sync all your emails and accounts, contacts and calendar items with multiple devices such as your file server all in one computer, desktop, laptop, netbook, tablet or smartphone or personal device attachment. It will operate and behave a lot like a personal (hosted) Exchange or Office 365 for Business account but for free.


Setting this up is relatively quick and easy but there are some pitfalls to notice. This guide walks you through the entire process of setting up an Outlook.com account with your own current email address and how to transfer all your current data.
