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.

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

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

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...
