We would like to remind you that as of July 16, 2002, we will no longer be able to offer POP Mail Retrieval to our Hotmail users with a standard free account. This means that you will not be able to aggregate e-mail from various accounts into a single Hotmail account. We do regret any inconvenience this change has caused you. This will be your final reminder.

If you would like to continue to use this feature, you can sign up for MSN Extra Storage. Extra Storage costs only $19.95* a year (that's an average of less than $2 a month), and provides a number of additional useful features, including:

Hotmail sells your addres to many commercial funds! within a few years you get 12 messages you won't even read! So using hotmail to avoid bulk mail causes you more bulk mail.

*dat is een vinger heel lang tegen je voorhoofd*

But asking money for this crap is the limit. I am wondering how much paying members they have.

I don't think that anybody would use Hotmail if they knew the benefits of Yahoo Mail.

6 MB for free instead of 2MB with Hotmail, and 25 MB for $20 instead of 10 MB.

Plus, Yahoo's free spamguard software really does work... I turned it on about a week ago, and every unsolicted porn mail has been sent to the bulk mail folder, and not once has a message been sent to the bulk mail folder when it wasn't spam.

By the way, you can still access the porn mails, it's just good to have them out of your inbox when you're checking your mail at work

all that hotmail email does is collect junk, take up.... up to 15mb of space at this point... ms's hard drives

I am wondering how much bad grammar there is on this site only j/k... Anyway, if you want to keep your account in hotmail, but u only want ur friends to contact u, set the email filter up   ... Else you can goto http://www.box.ms/ and get urself a 5 meg inbox (or 200 meg - not free)

i'm still not entirely convinced that you can read.
Use fucking Beer mail, it kicks ass. and you get 5MB with some cool-ass spam filtering.

smokey i have had people sign me up for junk to try to piss me off... I get emails from geocities, dk3, angelfire, gay-porn, jenifer lopez, 'free viagra', MSN, and lots of others... I think there is a program floating around to sign you up to look around the net to sign you up to this crap... I get so many emails that I have dumped my ISP email : [email protected]... Im masking it because i still use the connection, just not the email... I had been bombarded with email at the rate of about 750 emails per day before i dumped it... Simple solution: if your not prepared for the junk mail, DONT USE THE EMAIL!
