Don't use hotmail. It's a crummy service. Get a real email account from your isp or some other place.

FAQ: Sent an email from a hotmail to a hotmail account
What is the difference between sending an email from a Hotmail account to another Hotmail account and sending it to a different email provider?
The main difference between sending an email from a Hotmail account to another Hotmail account and sending it to a different email provider is the routing of the email. When sending an email to another Hotmail account, the email stays within the Hotmail server, making the delivery quicker. However, when sending to a different email provider, the email has to go through different servers and networks, which may result in a longer delivery time.
Is it possible to send an email from a Hotmail account to a non-Hotmail account?
Yes, it is possible to send an email from a Hotmail account to a non-Hotmail account. Hotmail allows users to send emails to any email provider, as long as the email address is correctly entered in the recipient field. However, some email providers may have restrictions or filters that could potentially block the email from being delivered.
Can I send an email from a Hotmail account to multiple Hotmail accounts at once?
Yes, you can send an email from a Hotmail account to multiple Hotmail accounts at once. Hotmail allows users to add multiple email addresses in the recipient field, separated by a comma, to send the same email to multiple recipients. This feature is commonly used for group emails or email chains.
Is it possible to track the delivery of an email sent from a Hotmail account to another Hotmail account?
Hotmail does not offer a feature to track the delivery of an email sent from a Hotmail account to another Hotmail account. However, users can enable the "read receipt" feature, which will notify the sender when the recipient opens the email. This feature is not always reliable as the recipient can choose to not send a read receipt.
Are there any limitations to the size or number of attachments when sending an email from a Hotmail account to another Hotmail account?
Hotmail has a limit of 25 MB for the total size of an email, including all attachments, when sending from a Hotmail account to another Hotmail account. However, the number and size of attachments may vary depending on the recipient's email provider. It is always recommended to compress large files or use a file-sharing service when sending multiple or large attachments.
