Msn/Hotmail Ups Storage Space

[digitallaughter]

YAY! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:

:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

Smileys are fun

[Bearded Kirklander]

Lets just all be happy we're gonna get 250mb :D ...

I'm there with ya, dude! (Y)

I really hope all they do is up the space and not put text ads in the emails like Yahoo does.

[Bearded Kirklander]

cnet did confirm what i said and hey i got terminated :) oops

You mean you lost your job? Can you elaborate? Or did I misunderstand your post?

[Ghostel]

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.

It also says we are getting MSN Calendar back for free.

I freaking hope so. :crazy:

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.

this news has been crawling around for the past couple of weeks on neowin, but thanks anyway.

i didnt know that the calendar was coming back. but i would like to thank yahoo and google for pushing microsoft a bit.

Nice. Let the competition thrive.

Ah the joys of getting stuff for free and then getting more of it for free.

[Wildies]

too late hotmail :/

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.

Old news.

Hotmail has way too much junk email!

[STV]

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.

STV

[Gee.B]

Hotmail is still slow with DSL from what I have experienced and this is too bad...hope they make up for that

[DigitalN.]

yeah, kinda old and there is no reason not to have gmail by now

[Gee.B]

GMail ? oh forgot about this one lol !!! GMail is dead now....the only way for them to really show their presence now is simply to cancel GMail ...then they'll be able to say "We messed up everything " ....But right now who would care for GMail ???

[webeagle12]

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

Man! That ain't no lie!! Everybody is jumping on the more space bandwagon. Excite.com is also increasing their mail storeage to 125MB soon.

[Gee.B]

Hotmail has no spam unless you act stupidly with your email address

I have 0 spam in my Hotmail , 0 spams in Yahoo, 0 in Gmail

[Banzai]

didn?t know we would be getting the calenderer back i might use that.
