samo123_uk Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 I don't know why but this week mail been delevered to my hotmail account has been delayed somewhat. For example , my IT teacher sent me a copy of important information about my work on Monday but yet only got to my inbox on Wednesday. This was very VERY important info that I needed to carry on with my assingment. It has also been saying I am almost out of sotrage space when thereb is only 8 messages in there . WTF is up???!!

kyrio Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 18 messages, not 8. Why not ask hotmail about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToastGodSupreme Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 1. Don't just block email addresses, block domains (@yahoo.com, @blah.net, etc) 2. You have 2Mb of storage by default, there is no way with the message in your inbox, that you have overrun that. Did your prof send you a video of him dancing or something? Check your other folders. 3. I use hotmail. I haven't had any problems with it. Though all the neowin stuff just showed up today, I've gotten my other mail fine. 4. It's not about how many emails you have, but the size. I have about 200 stored emails from my gf and they only take about about 550Kb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 why don't you unsubscribe to threads your no longer interested in? I do it constantly, i say my peace, keep my self active in that thread for about 2 days, then unsubscribe myself. that way i don't get so many messages.

shockz Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 The same thing happened to me... my friend needed a report printed out. Sent it to me, but I didn't get it till the next day. I had to make a report for her, man that was really stressful. But it doesn't seem to do that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurting101 Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Have you seen their new slogan? MSN Hotmail - More Useful Every Day Recently, they've: ? added bigger ads ? sent a billion messages about updating ? bounce your email if your account is almost full ? kill all your email after 30 days and no sign in ? add links to get more storange all over ? notify you by email when you're a bit full, kinda full, near full, almost full, full, or exceeded ? changed their slogan because they are no longer the world's FREE email provider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twist Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 hotmail is very good , i check it with outlook express, no adds. just gotta make sure you delete anything big quickly, 2mb fills up fast. and be sure to clear snet messages, they count to your size. the 1mb attachment limit sucks but i haven't gotten much spam lately. maybe less then 1 a day :) well cept for that night i got 400+ emails from neowin. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
