Why only this morning I 'won two free tickets to anywhere'! You should check out the plugs, I bet they use KrazyGlue!

Oooo, you lucky thing! Wow you can like go anywhere now for free, what a generous offer!

I have a new one in, it seems to be a poll or a questionnaire of some type given the title. Hmm. OK, I'll just throw out a mental guess and say 20 inches.

the problem with hotmail is - microsoft

when i first used it 6 years ago it was an independent mail service which was very popular, no restrictions or problems, cept for account space size, but they didnt delete messages or block messages if you went over till a week later, but since microsoft got hold of it, its been upgraded over and over, its got all sorts of nasty restrictions, my friend sends me 1mb attachments so if im away a few days his funny jokes etc means all my other emails bounce, other accounts dont do this , microsofts ploy to make money out of it as per usual means novice users cant even set up free accounts anymore without help (makes it appear that you have to pay, scroll to bottom and small link is the only way forward to completing free mail setup) i fear that in a year or two it will become a pay only service and i will lose a mail i have had for over 6 years and never once wanted to be involved with microsoft.

other problem it creates is yet again because of microsoft, they are a target, a big flashing neon target to hackers, to porn, to people who want to spam, my hotmail account is spammed unrelentingly as its the single biggest email target in the world if it wasnt microsoft i bet id have 90 percent less unsolicited spam.

Final problem is only 30 days and your deactivated and lose all emails and contacts, it started at 90 when ms took over, went to 60 and now 30, originally hotmail had no period on it whatsoever

I like alot of what microsoft does, but when they took hotmail over they really fricked it up id suggest getting a yahoo account, more space, less restrictions less hassle.

Yep, when I was faced with no other option that I could see when upgrading MSN but to create a Hotmail account, I actually couldn't find the free one! MSN directed me to a page on Hotmail, but everything I clicked took me to a paying version of Hotmail ($19.95!). I got very frustrated after a time, as somehow I DID have a Hotmail account because it kept telling me I had "incoming" messages, but when I clicked on them, bap! right back to that paying Hotmail page! Finally, Ronn_Bman was able to help me. He logged on MSN with my account and figured it out (how I have no idea LOL). So no doubt, Hotmail is NOT making it easy to use its free services anymore.

Hotmail is ok. I just have a problem with SPAM mail! I've got my account on a high filter and I still get at least 10 spam letters every day in my inbox!

Does anyone else have this problem?

50 here; with hundreds of domains blocked, and anything Porn is supposedly sent to the trashcan. Beats me why I even still check it... I dumped it months ago.
