Hotmail offers extra space - Hotmail will announce plans to offer more space to customers. In a bid to rival Google's upcoming Gmail, MSN plan to give free customers as much as 250meg of email space. MSN will also announce a plan to have a "plus" paid version of Hotmail for $19.95 a year which will include 2gig of email space.

Thank God! My Inbox is 84% full.

I guess they have to do it just to stay in the competition. I'd switch to Gmail but too many of my old friend have my hotmail address and I don't want to have to check two accounts.

Just found out that Yahoo! copied (or better say "stole") the auto-complete idea from Google. Though Yahoo's works only on IE.

You know... it's funny... I've had a hotmail account for a few years, and I get zero spam. I wonder how that works.

Oh I just hope they improve their spam filters, did I mention it sucks? 250 MB but last time due to the minimium 2 MB it has become my spam account, I wonder if there is any way of reviving it. Well maybe I go create a new one later. Hee. ISP email ? OH 6 MB only and need to pay 2 bucks extra per month with no antivirus no spam filters. And I just received an email they increased my storage space to 10 MB ahhahahaha.

Been using hotmail for many years now, same account the whole time. My email have been used on LOTS of sites, i get tons of spam mail, but its all redirected to my Junk mail by Hotmails spam filter. A few get through, but not many, 2-3 per month perhaps.

Geez. Maybe my settings are not right. I when I set to high or something like that all the genuine mail get lost . Maybe I see how is it when it goes to 250 MB
