i haven't checked may hotmail in weeks, and today i've got 250mb!? when did this happen? i never bother going to it anymore cos its always full of spam. so what will this do? hope it doesn't mean we'll have 200+ mb of spam...unless they update the spam filters then all it is is extra spae for spam. :NotMe:

#281942Post 3 of 48

My hotmail account is still a puny 2 mb of space. I'm glad that I've recently opened up a gmail account. :LoveYou:

I have 3 hotmail accounts, my oldest one got upgraded to 250 meg about a month ago or so. the other two, not yet. And they are still trying to sell the upgrade feature on the accounts with only 2 megs. thats most likely the reason, trying to get as much $$$$ as they can out of people, before upgrading everyone.

#281959Post 8 of 48

I am still at a lousy 2mb

Re: hotmail - 250mb - when did this happen?

#281966Post 11 of 48

whenever they are ready.. as i said i have 3 accounts, and it just appeared one day i got the upgrade.. but i use gmail now anyway.. so fuck hotmail and there teeny tiny 250 megs, lol

#282022Post 14 of 48

yeah my shite account on msn is still at 2mb

assholes send me about 3 emails a week telling me I'm using too much space because I get about 30 spam emails a day

Re: hotmail - 250mb - when did this happen?

i got my acount on hotmail suspended cause i havent visited it in ages still 250mb doesnt compare to the gmail i got now, much better with gmail and yahoo

#282039Post 16 of 48

Re: hotmail - 250mb - when did this happen?

Yeah, mine's still at 2MB. It's all good because I use Gmail most of the time now anyway but it would still be nice to get the damn 250MB. Most of the eMail services are trying to keep up with Gmail now by adding more storage space and implementing their own search functions. It's only a matter of time before I give up on Hotmail.

#282041Post 17 of 48

Still the damn 2MB's for me for both my accounts.... cheap lying bastards.

#282057Post 18 of 48

i really dont care much about hotmail ..i use it to get club info mostly or if i buy something online , that way if i get spam it doesnt go on my regular email account...

BTW DJZeke what up with the avatar.. that banana is puny...i sense pataki envy :mrgreen:

The two oldest ones are at 250, and have been for a few months... my primary one is still stuck at 2MB though.

Re: hotmail - 250mb - when did this happen?

[size=7]I want my update![/size]

Still on 2mb's here... getting spam from everywhere and juggling with the lousy 10 filters to try and block as much as possible.

good thing I've got my gmail... :P

rms have you been living in a cave for the past couple months. Gmail is the new email system that is being offered by Google. You need an invite to get one of these accounts. To my knowledge there still may be some floating around. Check this thread; [url]http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5178&highlight=gmail[/url]

Hope this helps.

Re: hotmail - 250mb - when did this happen?

#282778Post 27 of 48

Re: hotmail - 250mb - when did this happen?

#282790Post 28 of 48

for those in need of another email account and not buying to gmails gigabyte... netscape.com offers 250mb on his free email

and how cool is having an email account on the company who lost the first browser battle? :P (don't worry... his little son Mozilla has come asking for revenge)

#282791Post 29 of 48

Re: hotmail - 250mb - when did this happen?

Nope still 2mb here...

You know, they should just realize that if people haven't bought their lousy Plus service by now it's just not going to happen.

Not that I use hotmail really but it's nice to have when I need an email address for some site I don't want spam from in my primary email accounts.

Nothing here yet, the bastards.

Got mine ages ago... although my second account still hasn't got it ? probably don't use it enough :?

#298051Post 34 of 48

hotmail is so 98, does no one use ggg--mail

1000mb oh right....

no spam so far..

#298055Post 35 of 48

I guess at this stage its more a force of habbit rather than having to update every single person you are using to start using your new email address

#298059Post 36 of 48

2 Mb here...but Ive got Gmail. Fuck hotmail.

And with the satellite connection speeds in Africa Gmail is lighter and way faster. Everytime I checked my mail on hotmail in Ghana I could sign in, have a beer & sandwich, then return to the computer and then click the next link and follow the same routine all over. :shock:

#298062Post 37 of 48

i'm still bloody waiting on this upgrade.

would have left ages ago, apart from the fact that everyone has that email address.
