There’s been some rumor spreading among Microsoft fan sites regarding the launch of final version of Windows Live Hotmail (formerly Livemail) that is currently being rolled out to all live mail users in the version of milestone 10.

The current M10 has the following updates like change in branding from windows live mail to hotmail, including faster performance with enhanced spell checker, enhanced checkboxes, safety bars etc. By the time you are reading this post I hope you are get upgraded by this new branding if not wait a bit and you will surely.

But today Liveside reports that we need to set again for another expectation for the brand launch of final version of Windows Live Hotmail which will happen in the early weeks of April. I expect the new launch hopes to give even more cool features that are not currently in beta m10. Also Windows live hotmail plus members should be proud about their whopping 4 GB storage space increase.

Currently I think Windows live hotmail allows to send and receive mails from other email accounts like in gmail which seem to be a new feature for me or maybe that I am not updated.

To send mail from different email address:

• In the upper-right corner of the Windows Live Hotmail home page, click Options, and then click More options.
• Under Manage your account, click Send and receive mail from other e-mail accounts.
• Click Add an address to send mail from.

To add a pop 3 account in Windows live mail:

• In the upper-right corner of the Windows Live Hotmail home page, click Options, and then click More options.
• Under Manage your account, click Send and receive mail from other e-mail accounts.
• Click Add a POP3 account. Enter the settings for the POP3 account, and then click Save.
