How to have multiple Hotmail accounts in a single merge

Did you like the trick about Windows Live Messenger? Well, who does not, because a large number of people can now start chatting with this messaging service, which is one of the simplest and most optimal that has been proposed throughout its history, being able to put aside (only for video conferences) to Skype. Of course, there are certain limitations with this trick that we mentioned above, and that is that the messages that arrive in our Hotmail inbox will not appear with their respective number within the Live Messenger interface as it used to be shown previously.

Anyway, the trick we suggest can be used to continue chatting in a separate window with friends or family (your contacts) and how the respective Emoticons that we are always used to using, but in Windows 8.1 mainly; Today we will mention another interesting trick that you can easily perform, which will facilitate the task of check multiple Hotmail accounts in oneThis is if we follow a little trick where we can merge all of them into one, the latter being the one we consider the main one.

Create an additional Hotmail account

Previously we had suggested a video where you had the possibility of create a new Hotmail account that is "tied" to the main one that we drive regularly; Without a doubt, this is a great help that we could be using if we do not want to link the account considered as default (main) with any type of social network, being able create Hotmail account additional to it, having Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or any other social network that we want to link. In this way, the main one will serve us only for personal or professional matters while the secondary one can serve us to be subscribed to different social networks.

So that you have a better knowledge of what can be done with a secondary account (Microsoft calls it as an alias in Hotmail), we suggest you review the video proposed at the top and that belongs to the YouTube channel of Vinagre Asesino, where you can even review a few more video tutorials, on aspects of great interest to a large community.

Now, in said video tutorial we are dedicated to create an additional hotmail account within the main one, which means that there we will have 2 Hotmail environments to manage easily. What we are going to do at this time is to link to any other Hotmail account that we have separate or independent, which would act as "secondary" (aliases) and that they would all be merged in one place.

How to link our main Hotmail account with different ones?

That Hotmail account that we consider to be the main one and the others that we have called "different" must belong to the same author, because in order to carry out this merger, we will necessarily need the respective credentials of each of the accounts that are separate. The procedure is the easiest to follow, even more so if you got to review the video tutorial that we proposed in the upper part; a few steps to follow would be the following:

• We open our Internet browser (it doesn't matter which one you use).
• We enter the Hotmail.com site (or also Outlook.com).
• We start a session with our respective credentials (username or email and password).
• Once inside, we click on the name of our profile located in the upper right.
• From the options shown we choose the one that says «Account settings«.

• We will jump to another tab of the Internet browser where we will have to place the password for our main email.
• We go to the left sidebar and choose the option «Alias«.
• On the right side we select the link that says «add Aliases«.
• Now we select the box that says «add an existing email address ...«.
• We write the email of the Hotmail account that we handle separately.

After writing the email in the space suggested above, we would only have to press the blue button that says "add aliases", Afterwards, you must enter your respective password, a very important fact because with this we will be assuring the service that said Hotmail account also belongs to us. The usefulness of carrying out this procedure is great, since if previously we had opened a large number of Hotmail accounts and to check their inbox we had to leave one to enter the other, from now on we could be seeing all of them and each one of them within the main one, because they are all fused.

The process is irreversible, that is, if at a certain moment you want to unlink any of the Hotmail accounts secondary to the main one, you can do it quietly.
