Try fitting that onto an application form as your contact email address :erm:

It'd be a bugger if you spelt it wrong - it'd take about a fortnight to find out where you went wrong :D

Temporarily, you can be sure that the spammers would be the first people to adapt their mailing mechanisms/habits to take these email addresses into account should they ever take off. So you would end up with most legitimate mailers unable to reach you and spam being just about all you recieve.

It's an odd idea, the front page of the site seems to list reasons against using one of these accounts.

Yeah, it's weird that they slag off their own product....but that's kinda why I found it funny.

I haven't signed-up, as I have my work account for professional stuff, and a GMail account that I use for personal stuff .....plus an account with nothotmail.org for some other things (just because I liked the name ;) )

I think you'll find that it is 6.0mb (still not a lot though ;) )

More than hotmail's 2mb storage.

Which if you read, they are upgrading later on in the year.

Hotmail is Hotmail, and Hotmail stands for adverts, spam, and low space :)

the newly implemented spam filter seems to work very well, so much so, that I have forwarded a 'problem' ntl account to my hotmail & it has reduced spam from about 60 a day, to 4 or 5 at most - and as poolking says, the storage is due to be increased soon. :)

Spam reduction in hotmail? I get about 6 emails with spam in my hotmail acount PER DAY :erm:

well I can only go on my own experience, but a 90% reduction in the spam in my ntl account will do for me ;)

- did you not notice any difference, since they started filtering? - just being curious :)

Nope, no difference.
