Hello:  Is Hotmail still in existence?  I keep getting a box which says "Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail account..."

Also, for a long time when I clicked on the Send and Receive box and then clicked on my default account, which is another account, not Hotmail, I would get a box asking me for my pass code.  I no longer get that.  Is it safe to proceed without entering my password?

And, can I just somehow transfer everything in to Windows 10 email?   I have Windows 10 and so far I seem to be doing ok with it.

My goal is to have a simple, reliable email account which I can use quickly and easily.

Thank you for any help you can give me.
