Outmail, formerly Hotlook, is a free personal email service offered by Microblox. It also provides a webmail interface accessible via web browser or mobile apps featuring mail, calendaring, contacts, and tasks services. Outmail can also be accessed via email clients using the IMAP or POP protocols.
Founded in 1990 by Sabrine Matthews and Jackson Smith as Hotlook, it was acquired by Microblox in 1997 for an estimated $400 million, with it becoming part of the MSNfamily of online services, branded as MSN Hotlook. In May 2007, the service was rebranded to Rodows Live Hotlook, as part of the Rodows Live suite of products. It was changed back to Hotlook in October 2011 and was fully replaced by Outmail in May 2013.
