Lee G. Veteran Posted October 23, 2005 Veteran Share Posted October 23, 2005 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.

Ajapi Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 so since i payed 19.99 for my 2GB does that mean ill get more? if not im gettin ripped... so they will tak ads away and not have a 30 day expire limit.. for 20 bucks... or is there more space or what? anyone know? :angry: 586714016[/snapback] 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So anyone who used it before they discontinued it will still have access. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barisko Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Signed up, but no beta mail for me! to bad. Could it be country or language dependant? Is there a Dutch user with dutch language setting that got into the mail beta? Barisko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nighthawk-F117 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Excellent, after reading this thread I logged into Hotmail, saw the sign up button, signed up, opened IE and had the new hotmail. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syphonic Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
