As you all might recall, we reached out to Neowin members and opened our proverbial doors to your thoughts, questions, and suggestions for all things Hotmail. We had over 130 responses on the original thread and, when breaking those down, we had almost 200 questions. Thank you so much for all the enthusiasm!

When looking at your questions, we identified 22 major common topics and we answered according to these topics. Given that the whole video is a whopping 90 minutes, we broke it down into the common topics and you'll find the links below. As a reminder, we can't answer questions about future product features. However, feature suggestions - and bugs - have been relayed to our engineers.

We look forward to doing this again with you guys because the turn out and level of questions were really, really great. If you still have questions, comments, concerns, feel free to reach out to me, Galileo, here or on our Twitter handle at-TeamHotmail.

Thanks again!
Galileo and Nic

a 90 minute video, holy cow...tahnks guys!

[szo]

Looks like IMAP is never coming from the way they explain it..

[ozgeek]

No captions? very good

[+remixedcat]

Thank you! It does work with the folder in the android app but it's kinda messy but it works anyways. I am so glad they took the time to do this! Excellent work!

[Matthew_Thepc]

Thanks ;D

[Andrew Lyle]

Wow you sure did your homework on that. Sad to see my question about images not up there

[brent3000]

awww my question didnt get answered

Lots of good details tho...

The domain thing is nice and i think ill have to look into that

[AR556]

They completely [u]do not get it when it comes to two factor authentication! It's great that they have all this after-the-fact stuff to warn you, but if they gave you true 2 factor authentication (SMS code to phone during sign in) you probably wouldn't need the other crap. They might as well have said "Sorry Bro, too much trouble to actually address the problem.".

Finally just finished watching it. Awesome job!
Although unfortunate, at least I finally know there probably isn't going to be IMAP support.

I don't remember asking any questions about aliases, but thanks for the shout-out anyway! I hope I'm in the running for a free t-shirt!

[+Brando212]

shame that they won't be adding native IMAP support

oh well, I'll just continue to use mbox for mac to enable IMAP

[subcld]

[bdsams]

[still1]
