I use hotmail for my home e-mail address, and windows... but I don't use outlook so I don't know what you need to do about outlook (if anything).

Changing your e-mail address doesn't have to be anything radical. For example if your e-mail address is Ralph (at) hotmail, you can just add an easy number and make it Ralph1 (at) hotmail.

It's not temporary. This would be a permanent change. Your current address will stay active for one year from the time of your last log-in (and it will receive tons of junk mail during time). After one year, the hotmail admins will shut it down for a six-month grace period, and then it will become available for other people if they want it. But that doesn't matter because by then you wouldn't have used it for one and one-half years, so it's as good as gone by that time anyway.
