Buy 10-20 and check how many you can send before email account will get banned.
You can send without problems and end in spam anyway.
Inboxing is complicated as f***.
Hotmail age may help acc survive smtp sending, dont improve anything when it comes to inboxing.
Also its possible that acc age dont matter at all.

Old Hotmail accounts can work for sending emails through SMTP,but success depends on how they’re used. Accounts that are a year or two old and haven’t been abused usually perform better.Its important to start slow and keep the number of emails under 300 per day,make sure SPF and DKIM are set up correctly to help with delivery,tools like GlockApps and SNDS can show if emails are reaching inboxes,be careful when buying accounts though because ones with a bad history often don’t work well

Yes, some people still use old Hotmails as SMTP,especially aged ones with decent history,but it's hit or miss. Many are recycled or flagged, so deliverability tends to be unstable.
Beyond the account itself, the real game changer is the sending IP. If you're on a previously abused or blacklisted IP, even clean accounts go straight to spam. That’s why some setups use mobile proxies (4G) routed through a local SMTP script,to simulate fresh, trusted environments. It’s not plug & play, but when done right, inbox rates can improve drastically.
Using Old Hotmail Accounts as SMTP
Yes, you can use old Hotmail/Outlook accounts for SMTP, but:
- SMTP Server: smtp.office365.com
- Port: 587 (STARTTLS)
- Auth: Hotmail email + password
- 2FA enabled? → Use App Password
- Limit: ~300 emails/day (not for bulk use)
For bulk or cold emails, use SMTPwire, Sendgrid, or DedicatedSMTPServer — no sending limits, better inboxing.
