Over 50% of Hotmail's features aren't available on the mobile version of Hotmail.

One example is if I report spam using the non-mobile website, I get an option to report to you guys that the account may have been breached and do I wish to also delete the contact. I don't get any of these options in the mobile version.?

First off, I got mentioned in the video :) Thanks for the shoutout.

Also, thanks a lot just for replying. I think it is good way to reach out a community for some feedback and give some answers. Here is hoping to future videos.

File uploaded!!!!

http://uploading.com...rch%2B2012.mp4/

Please try that and let me know how the file download works and the video as well.

Viewed it on YouTube when I got home but thank you.

POP is here to retrieve your mail, but after that, you are disconnected from the server and you can read your emails offline.

IMAP is a connected mode, you are always connected to the server and when you make an email as read in your mail client, it will be marked as read too in the server.

EAS is basically IMAP + many others things (like contact synchronisation, push notification etc.), so there is a reason to keep POP & EAS, EAS makes IMAP useless.

See that link for more infos : http://en.wikipedia....ange_ActiveSync

The main reason people want IMAP is because IMAP is open; EAS is proprietary and cant be implemented in just any client.

They should just drop POP3 support and stay with IMAP and EAS; Best of both worlds :)

1. I use iOS

2. It shouldn't matter what OS I am using as I am talking about the non-mobile website.

As they mentioned, their order for preferences is the following:

1: Web browsers

2: Devices (mobile web browsers)

3a: Desktop clients such as Thunderbird, Outlook, Windows Live Mail

3b: Any other 3rd party client

Not sure why you are talking about iOS and then a non-mobile website. I might have mixed your post up....

I hope more people reply to this. More or less 150 posts were made and we only have 3 pages of a reply thread. These guys spent 90 minutes of their time replying to us and helping us see what YOU asked (they even went to the SkyDrive section which isnt a part of their section) and for now only 3 pages? Come on. At least stop by and give "thanks". Its the least you can do. Feedback is VERY important as it what makes a product move forward. But heres the thing: We (as in I and others) dont care about your feedback and wont do anything while these 2 Hotmail employees (and others on the Hotmail team) do care about it and WILL do things about your feedback such as talk about them or implement them in the future.

And when they have said more than once that there are things that they cant talk about in the future, there is a chance that some of the things that have been said are indeed planned for the future.

I am confused when they say that flagging email is supported in Hotmail on Windows Phone (approximately 1:04:00 in the video). Unless there's a hidden option someplace, it most certainly is not possible to flag an email in Hotmail on Windows Phone. I just checked on my Nokia Lumia 900 (which has the latest available WP7 software in the US -- just in case this feature was unavailable on my HTC Titan that's still running the original release of Mango). Has anyone else found a way to enable this feature?

Regarding IMAP -- as someone that uses a Mac as my personal desktop, I would be completely happy with desktop EAS support. As it stands right now, I have no email, contact nor calendar sync because Hotmail via EAS is available only to mobile devices. Using the browser as the primary mechanism for cloud "sync" is not acceptable to me and is why I will be sticking with Gmail for the time being. This way, I have the same mail, contacts and calendar on all of my devices.

Nonetheless, thanks to Galileo and Nic for responding to the community.

They completely do not get it when it comes to two factor authentication! It's great that they have all this after-the-fact stuff to warn you, but if they gave you true 2 factor authentication (SMS code to phone during sign in) you probably wouldn't need the other crap. They might as well have said "Sorry Bro, too much trouble to actually address the problem.".

We do get it. We know it's not there today. As we said at the outset, we wouldn't talk about future updates, plans, features, etc. I'm not confirming one way or another that we'll do 2-fact auth. But let's be clear about one thing, there's no such thing as "too much trouble" when it comes to our users' security.

Mobile is one of those scenarios that has exploded over the last couple of years. It went from being an in-between-PC's email checker to being pretty much the primary screen for email triage. Hopefully we'll have more to share about mobile in the future.

jluckett, you're absolutely right about the lack of flagging Hotmail messages on WP7. I've corrected the video to reflect that. I think it's one of those things that slipped (notice my dumb stammering as I was thrown off by Nic on this :wacko:), since we're so used to accessing our Exchange mail on our WP7's that we incorrectly stated that Hotmail supported it as well. Thanks for the heads up. And yes, this is a big request.

And you hit another big request, better support for OSX. We're looking hard at this one. We'll definitely let the community know when we have news here.

Thanks for your answers. I would like to submit some bugs & suggestions for the Hotmail android app:

Bugs:

  • Ability to view the Sent and Deleted email folders from within this app (and other sub folders) is not possible since v7.8.2.7.46.2592. This bug is not solved in current version 7.8.2.8.46.6837
  • When email is read and subsequently deleted, it is still marked as unread in Deleted folder in Hotmail on the web.

Suggestions:

  1. Open directly to account (inbox) if only one account is setup, or at least make it an option
  2. Flag support
  3. Synchronization of tasks
  4. Custom notifications for new mail from specific contacts / folders (especially useful using Rules / Sweep) and option to notify only for specific contacts / folders
  5. Folders need a better user interface. The tedious switching is annoying:
    • When viewing for example Sent items folder, pressing back button quits app. Pressing back should bring you back to inbox or menu.
    • Different folders as tabs on top of the screen

[*]Option to view (sync) all mail, not just the last 30 days

    • AMD RX 9070 GRE AI, Blender benchmarks vs 9070 XT, 7800XT, Nvidia RTX 5070, 4070

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      AMD RX 9070 GRE AI, Blender benchmarks vs 9070 XT, 7800XT, Nvidia RTX 5070, 4070 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week, we shared the first part of our review of AMD's new RX 9070 GRE. It was about the gaming performance of the GPU, and we gave it an 8 out of 10. As a follow-up, similar to how we did with the 9070 XT and non-XT, we are doing a dedicated productivity review for the RX 9070 GRE as well, where we compare it against the 9070 XT, 9070, 7800 XT, as well as Nvidia's 5070 and 4070. This will include AI, rendering, compute, and more benchmarks. AI performance, especially, is a very important metric in today's world, and AMD also promised big improvements thanks to its underlying architectural improvements. We will be pitching it against the data we already have for the RX 9070, and RX 9070 XT, but also the Nvidia 5070 FE, MSI GeForce RTX 4070 VENTUS 2X 12G, and Gigabyte Radeon RX 7800 XT GAMING OC 16G as they are in a similar price class, but also because we do not have a comparable 5060 Ti card lying around here that we can compare it against. Before we get underway, this is a collaboration between Sayan Sen and Steven Parker, who lent me his test bed. Also, there was no editorial input from AMD. First up, the specs of the RX 9070, 9070 XT, and 9070 GRE, which were given to us by AMD: Radeon RX 9070 GRE Radeon RX 9070 Radeon RX 9070 XT Boost Clock: Game Clock: up to 2.79GHz up to 2.20GHz up to 2.52GHz up to 2.07GHz up to 2.97GHz up to 2.40GHz Stream Processors 3,072 (48 CU) 3,584 (56 CU) 4,096 (64 CU) Ray Accelerator 48 56 64 AI Accelerator 96 112 128 ROPs 96 128 Texture Mapping Units 192 224 256 Memory 12 GB GDDR6, 18Gbps Clock, 192-bit Bus 432 GB/s 16 GB GDDR6, 20Gbps Clock, 256-bit Bus Effective Memory Bandwidth: 640 GB/s Infinity Cache 48 MB (3rd Gen) 64 MB (3rd Gen) Card Bus PCI-E 5.0 X16 Output 2x HDMI 2.1b 2x DisplayPort 2.1a Power consumption 220W 304W Recommended PSU 650W 750W Slot width 2x 3x Price (SEP) $549 $599 As you can see from the specs above, it is less than the standard RX 9070 in every way that counts, except for slightly higher Boost and Game clock speed. Design Moving on, the RX 9070 GRE we were given is an XFX Swift triple-fan, dual-slot design with two 8-pin connectors. At 30cm (self-measured), it will fit in most systems easily. There is no RGB either. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE by XFX from all angles. Test system Our test system consists of the following: Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 Flow (Amazon|Newegg) ASUS Z890 ProArt Creator WiFi (Amazon|Newegg) Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus (Amazon|Newegg) Thermal Grizzly KryoSheet - 44x37 (Amazon|Newegg) 2x 16GB G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB (7200 MT/s in XMP) (Amazon|Newegg) Sabrent Rocket4 Plus 2TB SSD (Amazon) Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200.8246) AMD shared a press driver based on the recently released Adrenaline 26.5.2 that we were required to use. We now move on to our benchmarks. First up, we have Geekbench AI running on ONNX. For some reason, the 9070 GRE does exceptionally well here in both half-precision (FP16) and single-precision (FP32). It manages to beat the RTX 5070 and RX 9070 non-XT, and is only behind the 9070 XT. Since Geekbench runs in short bursts instead of continuously hammering the graphics card, it seems the GRE's faster boost clocks are helping here. Next up, we move to the UL Procyon AI test suite, starting with the image generation benchmark. We chose the Stable Diffusion XL FP16 test since it is the most intense workload available on Procyon. The Nvidia cards do very well here, as even the 4070 out-muscles AMD's best fairy easily. The positive thing about the GRE is that it gets quite close to the 9070 non-XT in this test; this indicates that the VRAM does not play a very big role here, as SD XL relies on float16 (FP16). So this is something to keep in mind again. If you wish to work with float32 AI workloads, graphics cards with larger than 12 GB buffers would likely emerge as victors. Regardless, the gains are still massive on AMD's 9000 series compared to the 7000 series. Following image generation, we move to the text generation benchmark. This is one test where the 9070 GRE struggled, quite a lot. It seems that the 12 GB VRAM and lower memory bandwidth of the new Radeon 9070 GRE are hurting it quite a bit; the split is massive, especially in a test like Llama2, which packs 13 billion parameters. As such, in all the tests, the 9070 GRE is the slowest of the lot. Next, we tried Blender, and here the AMD GPUs were beaten by Nvidia. Rendering is something the Green team has always had a lead over the Red side, and it has not changed so far. On the positive side, though, the 9070 GRE shows significantly better results than the 7800 XT, which means AMD is on the right path. Catching up to Nvidia, though, will require a lot more effort. And we hope HIP and ROCm can keep improving. Wrapping up AI testing, we measured OpenCL throughput in the Geekbench compute benchmark. The RX 9070 GRE alongside the 9070 did not fare well here at all, even falling behind the 7800 XT. Interestingly, even the RTX 5070 could not beat the 4070 on OpenCL, so perhaps this suggests that OpenCL optimization may not have been a priority for either AMD or Nvidia in the modern era. Conclusion We reached the end of our productivity performance review of the 9070 GRE, and we have to say it's a mixed bag. Unlike the 9070 and 9070 XT, the GRE excels in some areas while losing ground fairly easily in others. Similar to how it happened in gaming, any time the card's memory subsystem gets hammered, it tends to fall behind the others. This was the case with text generation, wherein we saw the VRAM sometimes hit its maximum available 12 GB of usage with larger model sizes. So what do we make of the RX 9070 as a productivity hardware? It can certainly be used, but you have to know it has its limitations. For those looking for a GPU that can deal with more, AMD recently unveiled the Radeon AI PRO R9700, which is essentially a 32 GB refresh of the 9070 XT with some additional workstation-based optimizations. On a similar note, the new Ryzen AI Halo platform is something you can consider if you want to set up a local AI processing station. Considering everything, we rate AMD's Radeon RX 9070 GRE a 7.5 out of 10 for its productivity performance. Price is less of a factor for those looking at productivity cases compared to those considering the GPU for gaming, and as such, we felt it did quite decently on many occasions and can be handy if you need a 12 GB GPU and, for some reason, don't want to get Nvidia.
