Hotmail offers extra space (250MB free/2GB paid)

[FrogDog]

I've had a hotmail account for over a year that I use as my main account and I've never gotten a single piece of spam (that made it into my inbox).

 

[GoodToGo]

I just checked my hotmail, no changes yet.

 

[vegetation]

wtf, my hotmail accounts have no change in status.

 

[Bassyhead]

i still only use a few MB at a time for my email, so no use for me.

Is that good enough?

Gotta love all this...I have 2gb with Yahoo, 1gb with Gmail, and soon 250mb with Hotmail.

Now I think I have TOO much storage space for TOO many emails.

The one think Hotmail and Yahoo offer over Gmail, is nice integration with a portal. I get everything I need with Yahoo, calendar, file storage, email, contacts (Gmail's address book is horrendous, no fields except email). My assumption is that Gmail will become a portal as well, but it's a pretty bare bones email service right now. Some may like it that way, not me.

You paid for 2GB with yahoo? its 100MB unless you pay the $20 a year.

My DSL provider is SBC Yahoo DSL. I automatically get Yahoo Mail Plus with my DSL service. So the 2gb of storage is essentially in the cost of my DSL service, which hasn't gone up in price.
I got upgraded from 25mb - 2gb for nothing!

Seriously. Every time I look in my hotmail account it's like wading through the creepiest gay pride parade ever to hit the streets of San Fransisco.
