No more Hotmail Accounts

Is there something we could do in our settings, spam filters, etc. to prevent this problem? I know when I had to get the new PW after the forum change it was routed to my junk mail folder but I don't think I had anything returned to WA.

 

Great, I've had no problems thus far using OE to download my latest thread subscriptions with Hotmail. Is this an isolated problem or are a lot of you experiencing problems with Hotmail?

 

I had problems receiving e-mails before with my hotmail. I had to disable my junk mail filter temporarily to get the messages.

 

Yes, if you set the filters right it will work, mostly. Unfortunately the vast majority of hotmail users do not do that, especially people who have just registered. Then they wonder why they never get their passwords. Then they write asking for their password, but since they can't get email from us they never get a password.

Even when the filter is set correctly, email sometimes gets bounced.

 

hotmail is over rated and no good anyway. use yahoo or lycos.

 

Especially now where Yahoo is offering 100 MB free for users who use regular Yahoo Mail with subscribing for a preminium account. It used to be 6 MB and today, everyone got 100 MB.

 

Here is another alternative that offers free email and, if you choose to subscribe, a substantial benefits upgrade:

I have gmail, Google's invitation-only 1GB mail service.

 

Do you like it? I've managed multiple hotmail accounts for 6 or 7 years (before yahoo offered mail, maybe) so I am attached to them. BUT, I am really interested in Gmail since I hate the 2MB limit.

 

Yahoo! Mails limit use to be only 4 MB. As of today its 100 MB and they did a redesign of the mail too. It looks great. Yahoo! Mail is now leaps and bounds ahead of Hotmail. I hate Hotmail. I recommend Yahoo! Mail. It has a great interface, plenty of storage, and it ties in well with Yahoo! Messenger.

 

We get very few bounces from Yahoo, but who knows about the future........

I do like it, Matt. It's handy. Couple of bad things (I want the 'delete' function to say 'delete', not 'move to trash')... but otherwise good... and faster than even my work mail through Outlook.

 

I also set-up my gmail yesterday, but I still have no invites to give...

 

I signed up for a Yahoo! account yesterday because of the posts here. I used to have Yahoo! back in the day and hated it, the redesign is great as well as the 100MB limit. I don't know yet if I'll keep it or stay with Hotmail. I'll have to do a lot of moving contacts and whatnot before I completely switch. Thanks to all who posted about Yahoo!

 

Hotmail will have to follow in less than a year or most people will be ending there hotmail to Yahoo mail :welcome:

 

Just FYI as a followup - Hotmail to increase storage in July:

That will be cool...

 

My account goes over all the time due to spammers on hotmail extra storeage to even 6 MB really helps would help.
Microsoft doesn't need extra storeage to 10 Megs for extra was sooo stingy on their part! :rant: :thumbsdow issed:
To bad they can't fix the email with www.wirelessadvisor.com

 

So far no problems with either ^_^
