yeah Microsoft sent an email to all hotmail users that our acount will jump from 2 to 250mo of free space. this is to compete against the others... they are giving the 250mo gradually to everyone. i dont have mine yet but it will come.

I got 250MBs but since I got 100MBs with Yahoo and 1GB with GMail it ain't that exciting

At leats Hotmail is IMAP-based (allowing mass drag-n-drop between mail accounts), and can be checked from within some mail apps...2 points in it's favor over Gmail.

Buy your own domains already.
Why settle for hotmail or gmail?
- ribit0
Some people (like us) have their own domains but use these as extras for specific purposes, such as online backups (cc'ed or mass moved) for mail already stored on their main accounts.

- ribit0

(whats the question?)

hotmail is my spam collector!
sign up for anything online and i'll be dammed if i'm using my domains...that's just crazy

yea, i do the same thing shutdown. gmail is my collection for 'possible' userfriendly emails. if they pass that test, then i'll email them from personal site account.
i got three hotmail accounts specifically for spam. register, purchase, signup, whatever...its getting the hotmail accounts.

Thats not the only way to do it...The spam catching-capability of mail apps is getting better. Also you can get your own domain's email outsourced to hosts such as everyone.net, so it goes through their virus and spam checkers before it even hits the second line of defense at your mail app's spam checker... It works pretty well...
