my main hotmail account always gets the warning that i am approaching the max of 2 meg and I just checked one of my rarely used hotmail accounts and it has the 250m storage

:sigh:

I don't care about my 2 mb Hotmail anymore. My G-mail already offers free POP3 service!

I never really liked the Gmail web interface. POP sounds promising.

Still 2MB for me. Damn, my email starts with an 'r'. If it's done in alphabetical order I guess i'll still have to wait for it.

My account starts with 'a' and is still 2mb. Guess they are upgrading geographically, which means that I'll wait forever, since things in México are done specially slow.

But I use Outlook to check my mail, so I rarely receive the limit warning.

Congratulations to the lucky ones that now have the 250,

would you store music on google? Is it ok? I only have 20 GB of music but it takes up space I hardly listen to anyway.

i heard they're upgrading gmail to pop3 in phases as well...which means i dont have Gmail POP nor do i have a 250 mb size hotmail acct....i heard yahoo was upgrading to 250 as well

POP3 isnt working here with thunderbird. I did exactly as what is said under the tab 'new features'. Maybe firefox doesnt save my preferences that i want POP3 enabled?

I finally got upgraded to 250MB now no more of those annoying notices about inbox being filled.

Do they still have that 30 day disactivation policy?

yes

I still have 2 MB and it seems I was the only with the Outlook Express not being supported too

For almost a whole week I could not check my email thru Outlook because I was receiving a message that using Outlook with Hotmail wasn't supported anymore

Maybe, this is a preview of things to come?
I am using Hotmail instead of Yahoo just because I can connect with Outlook Express. If I could use Outlook (downloading the whole email not header) or any other email manager I would be even happier. I know I won't pay for an email account that receives as much as 60 spam messages a day

Thought their new spam system is working better. Unfortunately I couldn't get a Gmail.

BTW, I am posting today, because finally I could connect with OE
