I have switched over with no difficulty whatsoever.

Actually, I think it was my wife who initially accepted the offer to switch, but that must have caused some cookies to be set which made me switch, too. We have different email accounts and we use different browsers but we both use the same computer, at least for email.

Furthermore, this is the second time we've gone through a transformation, more or less forcibly. We started out with MSN as a provider, and our email addresses are still xxxxxxxx@msn.com. Then the website we had to use became known as Hotmail. Now I see the name Hotmail has gone away and the only thing I see is Outlook.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
