Hotmail ups space to 25MB.


Recommended Posts

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 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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
