However, Hotmail has been rebranded as Outlook.com or Outlook Web since 2013. Hotmail and MS Outlook offer the same services but the latter has more advanced features. It also includes contacts, calendars, notes, tasks, journals, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The domain for Hotmail is @hotmail.com and for Outlook is @outlook.com. Outlook users have the benefit of easily integrating with other Microsoft 0365 services like OneDrive, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. Also, it supports both IMAP and POP3 server protocols. Thus, there are no major differences between the two email clients, only the domain names.
