Hotmail BETA for those who signed up now available


Recommended Posts

I got in the other day :)

I've been using my account for several years now.

I think only @hotmail.com addresses are accepted rather than @hotmail.co.uk/@msn.com etc. I haven't read all of this thread so I might be wrong.

You get POP3 access, which is definetley worth the $20 IMO. I haven't checked my email through a browser in years, at least not when I'm at home. For some strange reason, I can use Outlook 2003 to check my Hotmail account, even though I'm not a suscriber. But I'm pretty sure this is an anomaly.

Need Help Over here guys.

I got into the Beta last few days. But ever since i got into it, i can't log in to my MSN Messenger anymore. I am only able to log in to my Hotmail

It keeps on showing that The Service is temperorily Unavailable.

I am Logging in From Sydney Australia.

Oh yeah, My friend tried to log in his Msn Messenger using the same computer i am using and he was able to do so.

I am Using a @hotmail.com

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I believe you still have access to Hotmail via Outlook still is because you started to use that feature before they discontinued it for new users. So anyone who used it before they discontinued it will still have access. :happy:

Weird :huh: It still works for me and I signed up before it became a pay feature. Oh well :happy: Now if only MSN could send me an invite :angry: .

For those of you in the UK that got in, are your addresses @hotmail.co.uk or .com?

I don't think I use my hotmail enough for them to put me in the beta, maybe that's why I haven't been chosen (even though I signed up).

Wierd though since I was given my free 250Mb and POP3 at the same time as the first US users, even though my country is set to the UK.

    • The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
