it looks like Microsoft has finally decided to give an option to put a copy of your mail in the "sent mail box", well atleast from the looks of it....

I really really need that option....Can't keep clicking on a check box every time I send out an email.

it starts out with 2 GB of email storage and plans are to have it adjust as you need the space.

Now thats a good idea. Some people won't use 1 MB of storage, while others will use up almost all their given space (which is tough with even 1 GB of storage though). It all depends on the user, so it will keep costs for them down while giving space to those who need it.

Why don't they offer pop3 for free, so many others do and I used to love Hotmail when I could access it through outlook without paying for something all the other do  :(

Google does, and as Google does MS does, so there's an increasing chance that they will, but don't hold your breath. The best we ever got (back to my memory in the late '90's) was that poor-man's POP3 -- WebDAV Outlook/OE access-- and as you know, they even pulled that for the majority of accounts. And I'm not sure "so many others" offer POP3 with their free services, and by "others" I presume you're talking about Hotmail competitors, not your ISP. Yahoo doesn't, at least in the U.S. Who else besides Google?

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
