Hotmail's 250MB upgrade

**petard** · December 2nd, 2004, 14:21 PM

I've had 250 Mb for about 2 months. If you sign up with a new account you start at 25 Megabytes.

Mine has been upgraded to 250MB for a while now. I also just signed up for a Gmail account with 1GB of storeage and up to 10MB file attachments! Sweet!

Sounds like the rest of you guys are catching up! Do you use Outlook or just the web interface?

Has anyone found a way to get the rich-text functionality working in firefox??

I'm not sure about this, but did you try disabling the pop-up blocker?

I use Outlook almost always. Never tried the rich-text in my browser, guess I'll take a look to it soon.

Still my lovely and adorable 2MB, even with an account moved to Tasmania, pity...

@Hotmale - Popup blocker doesn't seem to affect it. It has something to do with Microsoft's non-standard coding from what I understand.

@Laylah - Sounds like Outlook is the best way to use Hotmail. I get much quicker access to my emails however it's always a risk running Outlook as it is so prone to malicious attacks.

The reason I suggested that is 'cause Google Toolbar's pop-up blocker used to prevent Hotmail rich-text in IE.

HURRAAYY!! I got the 250 MB both in Hotmail and Yahoo.
@Layla, do you use Outlook or Outlook Express? I find Outlook to take time to synch, and also it doesn't download the message, just the header. Just because of that is that I use Outlook Express

I use Outlook, just for the joy of having my tasks listed. But if anyones has a better idea/program for that I'll be glad to read/use it. I sometimes miss using Outlook Express...
