Hotmail Upgrades Mailbox now 1GB

[[DGS]]

Well if you ask me, it's rather useless to have SO MUCH mb and not being able to fill them.. It's all about the "hype" .. ooooh 2GB oooooh ! So what?

I am not bashing Hotmail. I use it everyday.

Got my update yesterday. I still prefer gmail, but if only you could create folders to store your email in. If gmail had folders I'd move over full time

Thats very unlikely as Google simply want you to "search" for your email

My Gmail is ~50% full, so this upgrade comes in handy ;)

Pron i take it? :whistle:

I wonder if they will give those who have a premium account more storage...

I've always had 2gb due to the premium account and I think they should at least give us more if we're paying.

I'm also wondering whats in it for subscribers to Hotmail Plus,MSN Premium etc

Hotmail is so far behind in every measure, plus the ads are killer, and the server is slow.

The ads may change as MS dedicated a large section of a Windows Live Mail survey to it. ;)

I'm not sure if I find the Hotmail storage upgrade odd or not :wacko:

I suppose they are getting closer to releasing Windows Live Mail so are near enough upgrading peoples accounts to the magic 2 gig that the beta testers have,I expect more updates etc will be on the way soon.

About time... Gmail is at what, almost 3GB now?

2787MB to be precise

(well not for too much longer anyways :p)

So far I've used almost 20% of 2GBs on my msn.com (Hotmail Plus) email. Even better now that Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta works great for all of my email needs. I really don't need Outlook 2K7 until they get a better working version of the Outlook Connector.
