AS Hotmail promised, the upgrade to 250mb is underway. Noticed my account today. Anyone else been upgraded yet ?

1% of 250MB (copied from Hotmail)

Yawn.

250 mb and so what?

Both Gmail and Yahoo offer much more and a way better interface (without the extremely agressive and intrusive advertizements)

Hotmail truly sucks!

Nope......boohoo! If they are working their way thru the alphabet, I'll get mine in 2020

I'm jealous.

Yes - noticed mine went up yesterday too..

No more nasty requests to sign up for Hotmail plus.

My hotmail account(s) were upgraded to 250mb about 4 weeks ago, and I'm still using Outlook Express with no problems. Nothing in the notice of upgrade which I received, mentions anything about no access when using Outlook or OE.

lemon - where did you see/read that?

I just checked my hotmail. It is still 2MB.

May be I am not that lucky one.

PCWorld has an article about the upcoming "charge" to access hotmail via outlook...

PCWorld

So far "gmail" by google doesn't charge, but it is still in "beta". In Thailand, accessing gmail seems to be a lot faster for me than accessing Hotmail.

I just checked my hotmail. It is still 2MB.

May be I am not that lucky one.

Keep checking your account(s).

MS expects to have all current accounts raised to 250mb by end of November. Newly established accounts will initally be at the old 2mb limit, but increased to 250mb about 30 days after first startup.

Whoohoo, just checked and now have 250mb

Thank you Willy
