To access your inbox on Hotmail or Outlook.com, follow these steps:
1. Visit the Outlook.com sign-in page: Open a web browser and go to the Outlook.com sign-in page. You can do this by searching for “Outlook.com sign in” or by directly typing “www.outlook.com” in the address bar.
2. Sign in to your account: On the Outlook.com sign-in page, you will see a space to enter your email address or phone number. Enter the email address associated with your Hotmail or Outlook.com account. If you have linked a phone number to your account, you can also enter that instead. Once you’ve entered your email address or phone number, click on the “Next” button.
3. Enter your password: On the next page, you will be prompted to enter your password. Type in the password that you have set for your Hotmail or Outlook.com account.

4. Access your inbox: Once you have successfully signed in, you will be taken to your inbox. Here, you will see all your incoming emails, organized by date and time. You can click on any email to open and read it, or use the search bar to find specific emails or contacts.
It’s worth mentioning that if you have enabled two-step verification or any additional security measures for your Hotmail or Outlook.com account, you may be asked to provide further verification steps, such as a security code sent to your phone or an authentication app. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the sign-in process in such cases.
In summary, to access your inbox on Hotmail or Outlook.com, visit the sign-in page, enter your email address or phone number, followed by your password, and then click on “Sign in.” This will take you to your inbox where you can manage your emails.
