Launched in 1996, MSN Hotmail changed its name in Windows Live Hotmail in 2005 and it represents a free web-based email service developed and maintained by Microsoft.
Hotmail notifiers are specialized applications that will display an alert window or sound whenever a new message is received.
Users will be required to enter their credentials only once, when configuring the utility, then specify how often the app should check the inbox for new mail.
Hotmail notifiers may function either as standalone tools, or as a functionality within more comprehensive email notifiers.
