As you most likely know by now if you’re a Hotmail user, Microsoft has decided to completely retire the popular email service and move all consumers to Outlook.com.

As a result, Hotmail is no longer available, even though the company admits that it was “the biggest email service in the world.”

The Softies are now getting ready to close the official Twitter account of the Hotmail service, telling users that no other messages will be posted in the future.

“This is it, the last @hotmail tweet. Farewell! Remember stay connected and follow @Outlook for news and tips on free email from Microsoft,” a short tweet posted via the Hotmail account reads.

And in case you’re wondering, here’s the official description of the account posted on the profile page:

“The biggest email service in the world, born in 1995, enjoys helping you clean your inbox, interactive messages, and being the efficient way to do email.”

With all these being said, adieu, Hotmail! It's the end of an era.
