HI
Your problem is genuine owing when I had changed my region in hotmail profile in some 20ees of NOV, the ninemsn were going to update there remaning (or all) members to 250mb in the 1st month of december...
And now there isnt any mention of updating there new members (who are converting there region!) because hotmail is now offering the new member sigup of 250 mb! It is true... Now download opera browser and open the hotmail site in it! (as it will open that old look hotmail site, one appearing some yrs ago). From there, u can signup 4 new account having 250mb storage and 10mb attachment and so...

Anywayz, can somebuddy guide me that how can i configure my outlook express or ms outlook as a mail manager for hotmail and yahoo... there are certain configurations of stmp server and so... is there any alternative to hotmail plus!!
Regards,
Adeel.

To use yahoo with OE you gotta pay them and subscribe to their POP service. Doesn't OE configure the HTTP server automatically for Hotmail ?
Or did i misunderstand you?

Yup dats wat i want to no that inspite of this subsciption on yahoo and that on hotmail (called HOTMAIL PLUS service), is there ne alternative. I have 3 accounts on hotmail, if I suscribe 4 one wat about rest of them... Will I able to open them along???

One of these links should help you configure your Outlook Express to work with Hotmail.

You can use the following Trick:

Important: When trying to increase your limit,you may be loosing all emails stored in your hotmail inbox, so please follow the instructions below prior to go into the increasing procedure.

All your emails in the mail box may be deleted as the new account settings will REFRESH your inbox. Please backup your emails before proceding.
One method for backing up is, first of all make an extra folder in your mail box, and move your emails from your inbox to that newly created folder.
However there is no need to backup your addressbook or msn messenger contacts, they will remain unchanged.

GOOD LUCK.

To increase Hotmail Account Limit to 250mb
Follow these steps..!!

Login ur hotmail account and go to options.
Go to "Personal"
Click "My Profile"
Change Country to "United States"
Wait for browser to load United states settings.
Change the state to "Florida" and zip code "33332"
Click "update"
Click "Continue"
Go to "Language" and make sure its "English"
Paste the following link in the same browser and hit go.

Wait until the Screen says you're Hotmail is Closed and scheduled to be deleted.
Click "Close Account".
Go back to login page and relogin to ur hotmail account..!!

Your account size will now increase to 25 MB which a month later becomes 250 mb.
Good Luck..!!

PS.It worked, however i guess the Florida thing is simply a diversion because new hotmail accounts are given 250 by default now. So the trick is to actually "de-activate and re-activate the account" only !

Dont worry i have tried it and it worked before sending to you.
