It would be nice, if you could type your email address in the IE address bar and be taken to your email.

For example,
if I typed:
billgates@hotmail.com in the address bar of IE, I could be taken straight to my hotmail, providing I enter a password.
Just something I thought about.

I meant like other mail too,
like yahoo, netscape, lycos, verizonmail, etc...
but yea Hotmail works, but it would be nice if you could log your password in a cookie and log in without the nagging password screen.

Ahh I see what you mean.
I collect my Hotmail via OE so i don't get the nagging password screen.

well when i look on Hotmail's main page, there is a bubble that you can check that says " Keep me signed in to this and all other .NET Passport sites unless I sign out."
Have you tried that Boogs?
