Hotmail ups space to 25MB.

[nwBen]

GMail still 0wnz them all :sleep:

[Chad.C]

Just another bonus i guess...

Too late, when is anything ever too late...

In Australia, Yahoo accounts just got upted to 100 mb...That was great because i already had an account with them, but to say its too late, more like about time..

[Lurchybaby]

Awesome. 25mb is heaps. Seriosuly, who needs 1GB of email space? :blink:

some of the dip****s at the company I just started with have mailboxes nearing 2 gigs. Yes, you read that right, 2 gigs.

the "fun" part is getting these dip****s to start archiving it, so I can slap on some restrictions on their mailbox sizes.

Their previous admin had no idea what he was doing, and it shows.

i dont have 25mb? :huh:

[- Paul -]

Nor do I :unsure:

I just checked my account and I'm still sitting at 2mb. Based on that article here specifically,

Microsoft, meanwhile, has quietly been expanding the storage it offers to at least some users of its free Hotmail service to 25 megabytes, up from the 2 that were available before. Users of these expanded accounts can buy still more room with two new "extra storage" plans: a $40-per-year service that includes 50 MB, and a $60-per-year option that allows 100 MB.

But other users continue to get only 2 MB of storage, and an "All About Hotmail" page at the site shows the old amount as well. A new account opened on Friday afternoon also was limited to 2 MB.

not everyone will be getting 2mb. do i have to send myself some huge email to activite it? y dont they just default everyone to 25mb instead of being cheap a**es with this selective crap. :angry:

Hey a free gig is always well come though. :)

[Medievil]

why not everyone?

thats sucks :crazy:

[iller]

i dont have 25mb? :huh:

Me neither...

[Medievil]

hotmail and msn went down

i hope thats good news....

[Xerxes]

Cool, 25Mb would be great :D ....but mine is still 2Mb, gotta wait for them to roll out the update, since there are so many hotmail users, probally take a while to upgrade them all.

[icecream]

I can't open hotmail in my browser, maybe they are working on the extra space, I hope it. 25 mb would be nice. I don't need like 1 gig, but it would be nice to keep some pictures or so on it so you can use it as online harddisk.

[Spyder Veteran]

yay! :D

[hobsgrg]

If people using the free hotmail get their account upped to 25MB what will Microsoft do about MSN subscribers like me who already have 25Mb, hopefully give us more space or it would be silly having paying customers getting as much as people with free accounts.

[McGazza]

EDIT: Nah Hotmail and MSN have not gone down here.

[Joel]

Considering the whole planet uses Hotmail, upping the storage by more than 10 times is a good move. Some people don't want to have 9 email addys, you know. ;)

[Medievil]

^^ well, everyone will get the 25mb now i gues

before someppl had it, but now msn and hotmail seems down, so i gues they are working on the upgrade...

Edit: Joel lol :p

That's how the rumours start! The picture posted says 25mb but is not a free account, it's from a Hotmail Extra Storage Subscription. Did I prove my point? Don't believe everything you see. If free account are upgraded to 25mb, 25mb extra storage accounts should be upgraded to at least 250mb, not 50 as they say.

[McGazza]

Yeah Jimmy I did not find that screen shot very convincing either :)

[Wildies]

I am happy with my Gmail :yes:

Thanx hotmail.

[idoia]

No for 4 accounts here

mine (hotmail)

those of my 2 sisters (2xhotmail)

that from my mom (msn account)

nope every account 2MB here :ermm:

To you guys complaining because it dosen't offer a gig: who the **** cares? Honestly people, ever since GMail has come around, that's ALL people want is a gig of space. Are they ever gonna use it? Of course not, but they're still willing to act like pathetic losers for an invite. I have had a 10MB hotmail account for a year and a half, it came with my MSN Premium subscript, which is part of my DSL service...anyway, I've never been above 3% storage. Who the hell needs 1GB of email? You people need to stop bitching because everyone else isn't going the way of GMail, it's just stupid anyway.

well since you didnt state that it was from your paid account then it was misleading in the first place. the rumor started because of your bad info so don't blame the mill.
