Enlarge your Hotmail account to 250MB

[turmoil]

Saw this in another BB.. It seems to work for those that tried it there..

1. Sign in to your hotmail account and change your personal profile in the Options as following:

Country: United States
State: Florida (choose another state if you want - http://www.50states.com/)
Zip Code: 33332 (choose another zip code if you want. -
http://www.downloadzipcode.com/)

Needless to say, you need to enter the zip code that belongs to the state you've chosen.

2. Then get to the Language options and make it English if it's not.

3. If you don't want to lose your Inbox, click Put in folder. From the menu, choose New Folder. Create your new folder and go back to your Inbox. Select the emails that you do not lose and click Put in folder once more. Choose the folder you have just created and the emails you have chosen will be moved to that folder. You can move them to your Inbox again later by the same method.

4. Before signing out, paste the link below into the address bar and click "Close my account". Thus your account will be deactivated.

5. Now visit the address http://www.hotmail.com again. Enter your username and password. The activation page will load. Activate your mail account.

6. You're done ! Now your mail account capacity has grown to 25 MB and in a month or so it will be 250 MB. Enjoy your "enlarged" hotmail account!

Mines been 250Mb for ages ????

Oh and since ALL hotmail accounts are in the process of being upgraded to the larger inbox this tip will be obsolete soon

The reply was not sarcastic and as far as I am concerned was answering your question - I have no idea what your level of technical knowledge is. I shall certainly remember not to try and be helpful towards you in the future.

is it not hapening because the link was taken from within hotmail? is this why the link opens up the forum thread again?

As have a lot of peoples accounts, there are some hotmail servers still to be updated yet but not many now. Could also just apply for a hotmail.co.uk account
