Microsoft's Hotmail in new Avatar 'Newmail'

World's tech giant Microsoft is reportedly revamping its popular mail service hotmail through it's look and features and preparing to re-launch it with the name of 'Newmail'.

According to Daily mail, Microsoft is doing so to compete Google's Gmail service which has reached on the second position after Hotmail.

It has reached up to 350-million users which was only 260 million in last October while Hotmail has some 360-millions.

Microsoft has claimed it has a 'fluid and interactive design', which is expressly designed to work well on mobile devices such as phones or tablets, quoted Daily mail.

Newmail is understood to have a 'clean look' when it comes to the font that has been used for the labels in the inbox, which resembles its Google adversary.

A website LiveSide, that has obtained screen shots of Newmail, said that Newmail will initially be available on an opt-in basis to existing Hotmail customers, but Microsoft has not ruled out making it compulsory in future.

The new email service will also be linked to Facebook and Twitter and will allow users to keep their contacts automatically in sync and see what their friends are doing on the service.

The new name Newmail, however, appears to be just the title for the service and users will still have @hotmail email addresses.
