You got gmail yet? There are plenty of spare invites around here, I have a few ... if you want space, I got it ;)

Re: Microsoft cuts pop access to new hotmail accounts
 

Yeah i have got one. Ive got 6 invites that i cant shift.

Re: Microsoft cuts pop access to new hotmail accounts
 

I suspect the reason is that Hotmail runs on a cluster of servers, and Microsoft are upgrading the servers one-by-one so that hopefully,if one should fail, the remaining servers will take the load.

That's the way I'd do an upgrade like this..

If anyone cares, Mr Postman (google for it) can act as a POP3 to HTTP bridge enabling hotmail to be checked in ANY email client and not just OE6.

Works well with Mozilla!

MSN (or Hotmail) to charge ?
 

just read in computer active mag that MSN are going to charge for using it through Outlook from next April for existing users and now for new ones,

Re: msn?
 

u sure u dont mean hotmail? if so its about time u dont get any adverts through outlook so they lose money.

Re: msn?
 

What adverts? When I used hotmail VIA OutLook I didn't get a single advert.

Re: msn?
 

If you go via the hotmail website you get ads but if you go through OE or outlook you don't.

Why not just use MrPostman?

Re: msn?
 

Thats my point ...as much as MS gets a buzz out of hosting your email it would be nice if they could cover some of the costs

Re: msn?
 

According to the report in computeractive mag ,it is to stop spam in Hotmail.

Re: msn?
 

that can only be a good thing

Re: msn?
 

Spam should be filtered for free any way. If it isn't it's a crap email provider.

Re: msn?
 

You calling NTL crap? :D :D

Re: msn?
 

I think you should know that any way :D
