    Type the name of the recipient as it is written in your address book, or type the exact email as you originally input it at initial entry, or if it matches neither type, you can input the email address without typing any other text.
    • You may click the "To" button and scroll to find the contact. However, with the initial setting auto-completing as you type, you'll probably find this other option much easier and much faster to find the person you're looking for.

    In the "To" section of the composed message, put the email address of the Yahoo account such as testadress@yahoo.com. Your message from Hotmail will be sent to that Yahoo account.

      • Although Hotmail is most known by its main name, over the last 5 years, it has gotten a major name upgrade. It's now become part of Microsoft Office and now has become called Outlook.com . The account you are dealing with is not just called a Microsoft account .
        Thanks
