Temp Hotmail · Classic mailbox
@hotmail.com has been around since 1996, and for many people it is the address they have used for decades — on any sign-up form it looks completely unremarkable. NexMask keeps a large stock of ready-made Hotmail mailboxes: claim one, and the site sees a familiar old face with no name of yours behind it.
No sign-up · No phone number · Only you can see it
Hotmail was one of the first webmail services. Microsoft bought it in 1997 and later folded it into Outlook.com, but the @hotmail.com suffix never went away and is still a common personal address in many countries. On a sign-up form, nobody looks twice.
Hotmail and Outlook now run on the same Microsoft mail system and receive exactly the same way; only the suffix differs. Choose Hotmail for the look of a long-held personal mailbox, and Outlook for something newer and more conventional.
A personal address used for a decade or more has most likely turned up in more than one data breach, and every new sign-up only lengthens that list. Let a claimed Hotmail take the new sign-ups, and keep your old address for the people who actually matter.

FAQ
Yes. Hotmail was folded into Outlook.com around 2013, but @hotmail.com addresses have been run by Microsoft ever since, on the same mail system as Outlook. The Hotmail addresses NexMask provides are real ones.
Today they are the same Microsoft mail system; only the suffix differs. @hotmail.com is the classic suffix in use since 1996, @outlook.com the one Microsoft promotes now. Both receive exactly the same — choose Hotmail for the look of a long-time user, Outlook for something more conventional.
Neither. Free users claim one straight from the page, with no NexMask account, no Microsoft account and no phone verification. Claiming in bulk and holding several at once are membership features.
Yes. Sign-up codes, confirmation links and event notices all arrive. If one is slow, refresh the inbox; if it still does not show, ask the site to resend, or try another address.
No. You get the ability to receive at the address, not the Microsoft account behind it: no password, no web login, no sending or replying. When you need to reply anonymously, use a long-lived alias, which can send as the alias from the console.
No. While you hold a Hotmail address, its inbox opens for you alone; knowing the address gets nobody in.
The lifespan is shown when you claim it, and members keep theirs longer. It suits codes and confirmations, not accounts you will need to recover later — use a long-lived alias for those.
No. NexMask is an independent privacy email service, with no affiliation, endorsement or partnership with Microsoft. Hotmail is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation and is used here only to describe the address suffix.
A classic @hotmail.com, no sign-up, no phone number — and an inbox only you can see.
