hotmail
 

they've increased my account to 250mb free of charge. anyone else get this or am i just special?

it used to be like 2mb and constantly going over the limit.

thanks mr. gates :D

Nope same with me 2:)

mines still on 2mb :(

They are working round them all. One of my accounts has been upgraded the other hasn't yet. Its quite some jump!!! :D

Yep, mine went up weeks ago!

Tops!

Its the best run accounts being done first apparently

If you have gold wheels, they won't upgrade you until next year, eh Pete?

Turn it in. I've got gold wheels, and mine as gone up Shut it P.S. Lewis:D

If you pay about a 15 quid a year you get 2GB storage and a 20MB attachment limit. Both double what you get with GMail. :)

Mine was done about 10 days ago.

mines not been done yet :cry:

hey - first post! welcome :D

Mines been upgraded :D

Would you have been as welcoming if the username was blokexxx? ;) :D

of course.. im friendly to everyone.... ;) :D

Yep my 2 accounts were done a while ago too - much better than a poxy 2mb limit, now a combined 500mb means loads of storage :)

Forgot to mention that you now need at least a Hotmail Plus account to be able to access your email with Outlook/Outlook Express.

Sharks are out tonight :) I'm off to fit my fin ;)

Jerome not true there mate, i'm still using Outlook Express with two standard Hotmail accounts and all is tickety boo :D

hotmail.co.uk addresses available now on ebay :)

Yeah mine was changed I guess 2-3 months ago. Why the delay for other users?

Now people just need to learn how to use an email account!!

Whenever I get somebody ordering from me and they present a Hotmail address I can guarantee they'll be a delay of a day or two before I hear back.

Why people don't use OE or something and have it set to receive emails within minutes is beyond me.

It makes me laugh when they apologise for not replying because they don't spend much time online, but I know they are online when I send the email because it's often sent several minutes before I receive their Paypal payment.

Anyway, Hotmail what................:D

According to this we are both right. It already applies to new users (as of 27 Sept) and everyone else starting in 2005. :)

Yeah heard it was supposed to be happening, was hoping they were gonna change their minds, but looks unlikely. Webmail is sh!te and have always used OE. Will have to give up on Hotmail once I can no longer use OE with it.

It might be worth paying the 15 quid with at least one of your accounts. If for no other reason than the hassle of all the people you will have to inform about a change in email address. I have totally lost contact with people because I changed mine many years ago.

well when the pc is turned on, MSN starts up in the background and therfore checks mail there and oulook is sheduled to check mail every ten mins.
So I don't miss a trick. :D
Unless I'm out that is ;)

Am I the only person that uses Hotmail specifically for mail I don't want coming to my home computer? :norty:
