Oh no! I'm sure the entire Microsoft empire will collapse if you stop using Hotmail.

It always cracks me up to see indignant people threatening to stop using a free service.

How many threads are needed on this topic anyway?

I dont think he was threatening to stop using a free service, rather advocating that something better is out there but for the time being there is no need to change due to the hassle of getting a new email address.

Threads needed on What topic?

Just keep it friendly bud.

Look, all the kind people here explaining my posts.

Chilling_Silence pretty well summed it up for me.
Then Growly just but the iceing on top.

Im on hotmail atm, I find nothing wrong with it, I "never" reach my 2mb limit, because I use OE, and just archive the emails.

Along came gmail with 1gb of space. I saw that could be handy for some, but I don't get much email anyway, so I didn't see the point, and it could not go through Outlook Express, so I stayed happily with hotmail.

As you can see, the important factor for me seems to be the storage space, so I can store all my ... No, I think it is the pop and Outlook factor.

But, if hotmail are losing it, and gmail are gaining it...
