Msn/Hotmail Ups Storage Space


Recommended Posts

Yahoo did the same a week and half ago. :p

They upgrade their free email storage to 100Mb. :whistle:

It is cool. :cool: But anyway there is still one free good email service better than hotmail and yahoo that allow you to use smtp and pop to manage your e-mail and have a good storage.

SPYMAC. 1Gb

Maybe it should be thanks to Spymac not google because google keep the idea like a project. :D

I have been trying them and they are just not reliable. The place has tons of problems with delivery, and their mail is bounced a lot for some reason, maybe because the word SPY is in the address. Spend some time reading on their forums and you will see just how much trouble people are having with their spotty service.

Hotmail have now too decided to upgrade their services following Yahoo!'s strategy.

Plans are to increase the inbox space to 250MB and provide everyone with free antivirus protection. Attachment file size is also been increased to 10MB. MSN customers would also be provided with an online MSN Calendar which allows for individual or shared diaries.

Premium and Plus Scribers get bumped to 2GB and 20 MB file attachments.

All this will not be implemented till July, 2004.

I didn't know the calendar was coming back either.

I'd like to see Hotmail reposition the ads on the site and have an option to kill Messenger integration. One thing I hate about Hotmail is all my MSN Messenger contacts get added to my address book, which I try to keep neat and tidy with just the people I email frequently. But if I delete people from the address book that are on my Messenger list, BAM they disappear on Messenger too.

too late hotmail :/

how is it too late? hotmail has millions and millions of users that will get this upgrade. even though yahoo has already done their upgrade with 100MB of space, hotmail's offer is 250MB (a whole 150MB more than yahoo). and as for gmail, it is still based on invitations which means that it is not open to anyone that wants one.

i doubt that google could offer that much space (1GB) for as many people as hotmail supports. that would be millions and millions and millions of gigabytes.

it all depend on who you are an how many thing you have signed up for over the internet. my hotmail address only gets a couple a week or two, while my yahoo account gets 20+ each week.

hotmail is not crap. great interface. the only problem, is that it is slow on dial up, at the moment. i dont use dial up, i use dsl so it doesnt matter to me.

Agreed. I don't have any junk mail on Hotmail - probably because I never sign up for anything with it

    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
