[digitalslacker]

AV Mail isn't accepting new email account registrations though.

I guess MS is upgrading ppl that actually use their hotmail accounts first. I dont use it very often because of the 2mb limit.

OT: Is there a way to tell how long you have been using a hotmail account?

[tang_tito]

You're all wrong, G-mail isn't the largest, http://www.aventuremail.com is. But who needs more than a couple of meg anyway, honestly what is going to go in to it, programs? I mean even if you do send massive files most people won't be able to recieve them anyway if they are not subscribed to a large e-mail account.

but that server is often down

and it doesn't even allow you to attach files

so, what's the point?

unstable, has a bunch of problems (like for example accounts disabled without a reason), no file attachment......

Nothing has happened to me, I find it quite a useful service.

Only 25? I thought they're going to raise up to 100MB with Yahoo.

agree totally

btw, i wonder when all this is going to happen :D

MSN did not upgrade for users. It's somehow someway to fool hotmail to give users 25 megs.

how did you make your mailbox 25mb?

[null_]

I have 3 accounts, 2 @hotmail.com and 1 @msn.com. The MSN one is the only one with 25MB of space (and I used to be a premium subscriber so maybe they didn't reduce my storage space)

[giga Veteran]

I have an msn account. It's still at 2mb. Oh well..its all good with gmail.

[Chad.C]

using yahoo here,

the only reason i have a hotmail addy is so i could use msn..

back then i didn't know you could register any email to use in msn...but i just couldn' be bothered changing..

too much of a hassle e-mailing everyone tell them i had a new e-mail...

I actually heard that they (msn) in order to make an agressive unexpected move are going to reduce all e*mail accounts to 500Kbs storage size. No one will expect that ! :rofl:

Yeah, I've been noticing a LOT of people with Comcast can't reach it, and it's been this way for almost 2 days now.

haha.. me too... got cheated in a way registering a hotmail account just for MSN messenger.

This would be great news... no longer will receive those, remove some emails.. your account reached the max emails from Hotmail services... :D

[Deactivated Account]

LOL wow that?s all they can do??? You would think that they would do maybe 150MB or something to beat Yahoo. Like common Microsoft all I ever see in my inbox of my hotmail/msn account is spam LOL everyday I have to remove the spam from my inbox. I get like 400 SPAM message a day in my MSN account.

[tkyoshi]

Well if they are upping to 25MB for free, wonder what MSN Premium/Plus/Dial-up users are going to get. They better raise storage for us since we have 25 right now or else it kind of defeats the purpose of purchasing a subscripthion in the first place.

[Xab]

If nothing else, Google at least deserves credit for starting the trend of larger email storage. The amoun of space my ISP gives me with my cable account has run out of space more than once and I've had to delete things. More space is always nice, and I'm glad Google jumpstarted this for all email providers.

[enriq760]

hehe exelent news from hotmail.. :D :yes:

[+Random Stranger Subscriber¹]

nice. but they could have given 100. still charging $60 for 100mb is rediculous. yahoo was way more nice in that way.

[b3ta]

:cool: Great news! I knew that Microsoft / MSN would never offer the sort of space that Yahoo! offers. But 25mb is a usable mailbox.

Thankyou MSN.

:blink: :blink: My MSN {Australia} free account shows I have 10MB available. :unsure: :wacko:

[jack_canada]

my premium account is still 25mb, no change
