| 533620 | 2007-03-16 20:02:00 | Hi , Is anyone having trouble reaching Hotmail at the moment. Today when I tried, Firefox was timing out on me. I noticed that the site it was trying to reach was "'login.live.com"'. Wondering if Microsoft are changing accounts over to the new "'Live"' email service ? Anybody know ? Thanks Paul |

| 533624 | 2007-03-17 04:37:00 | Main Ihug email account for limited contacts I trust. Gmail as my second email option, mainly for business I deal with and other contacts where I have a certain amount of trust Hotmail as a legacy email option as I have had a account almost from when they started, but still useful for one off dealings Helps keep wonderful offers/spam out off the other two. Thanks for those who replied, this mornings clich now has been fixed Paul |

| 533625 | 2007-03-17 05:16:00 | yea i also keep a hotmail account purely so i can put down an email address when i don't really want to give out my gmail address. MSN also stopped working for my gmail for some reason.... | motorbyclist (188) | ||
| 533626 | 2007-03-17 05:29:00 | Hotmail puts all Gmail's into the junk email bin unless you specify each "whoever@gmail.com" as a trusted person or they are in your address book, you can guess why. | zqwerty (97) | ||

| 533628 | 2007-03-17 10:43:00 | Not if you appear in the Hotmail address book or you are in "safe". I teach students how to use eMail sometimes and naturally I introduce them to Gmail. I get them to eMail me on my old Hotmail addy and they always appear in the junk eMail bin until I move them to the inbox and add them to the safe list. This is also talked about in quite a few places on the web, so it is not just me. I understood that is was because MS knows that everyone who has a Gmail addy has the option to offer an addy to anyone who emails them back and MS was justifiably worried about that. |

| 533629 | 2007-03-17 23:48:00 | I don't think the amount of spam at an address has anything to do with whether it's a hotmail or gmail account, it's where you've distributed that address. I have one gmail address overrun by spam (which it sorts very well I have to say), and a hotmail address with no junk mail at all. |
