That some monkey at your internet provider hasn't been let out of his pen.

^ If you got it long ago enough and you can have "Your name at hotmail.com" then it's OK.

These days it has to be .co.uk (if you're signing up in the UK) and you will have to put about 4 numbers after your name to make it original.

right, I did subscribe and establish the hotmail account back in about 1997 and in the US. the restrictions you mention were not in place at that time. I've had no problems and no issues, when I use g-mail, things just don't seem to be as straight forward and the attachments don't seem to be in a logical location. no worries though, it is what one becomes used to.

^ Agree mate. Never had any issues with mine either.

Hotmail are for bargirls and scam artists,

get gmail,

have it, but hotmail has never let me down, through all its incarnations. May be old fashioned but it dang well works for me.

^ Same. Had more problems with my Gmail account than Hotmail.

not user friendly. and what they say about "if it ain't broke, no reason to try and fix it" works just fine for me in this case.

gmail has an IMAP interface, so you can use outlook or any IMAP email client

fucking HOTMAIL is just a mess, and having an address with HOTMAIL just advertise how much of a retard you are. Of course, nobody will tell you that in your face, but they will think it

it used to, but I agree, their new interface is crap

Guess I'm just another retard...However, Hotmail may be out of fashion but it works for me and I don't have to think up some silly name or add numbers...

Gmail, hotmail, ymail and any other free e-mail are all thought of exactly the same in my experience. If you want or need to be taken seriously you wouldn't use any of them, you would pay for a business one.

Like I said, if you got it in the early days, I think "Davesmith@hotmail.com" looks a lot less bar girl like than "Davesmithy3456@gmail.com"

absolutely,

FFS.

Boot the computer cable out the wall, count to ten and re-start

Rocket science it aint.

Rocket Science it may be.

I also have hotmail with my name@hotmail.com. Yes, I am a old guy.

Regardless, currently I cannot access my hotmail account from my laptop at home. Everywhere else I can...

as a few wise have said already . start a Gmail.
les spam as better filters and less (if ever) server down time.


^ you can't blame hotmail then as its obviously your lappy.. or the monkey pressing the buttons!!
