Original Thread: New Hotmail 250 MB
edwardchiu
I guess Google's Gmail has everyone running skeered, eh??!!

Expect the announcement in your inboxes soon.

Me, I'll migrate to Gmail completely when it's public, never mind the claims of, inter alia, Yahoo, Hotmail, Rediff and Spymac. Right now, you need invitations to sign up on Gmail.

Say no to hotmail. They stuck to 2mb unless the last moment, thinking they would get away with it ? Customers aren't stupid. We all should thank Google. [>:D<]

Hotmail 250MB will go into effect in July.

Aventuremail.com - they offer 2GB storage and a beautiful interface with no ads (all for free). The worlds only 2GB free email service. But unfortunately, currently they not accepting new registration.

I'm not sure whether it has also been changed for other country services

Interesting. My 2MB at hotmail jumped to 250MB a couple days ago. I was wondering about that.

roger
I am still with 2Mb but who cares..... Hotmail has disappointed me, they were slow to jump the larger inbox bandwagon. Kudos to Yahoo btw.

jennylee

MiBe

All you can do is WAIT or switch to other mail provider. http://www.imagine-msn.com/hotmail/en-US/upgrade.aspx

All current MSN Personal Address customers will be automatically upgraded by the end of September to an improved MSN Personal Address subscription which includes:
It's Nov now, and almost everyone's still stuck with 2mb

Upgrading .....

bb
Maybe I am wrong, but I think hotmail users who has the most traffic of receiving and sending emails get the upgrade. How I came to this conclusion? Coz I got two hotmail accounts - one I barely use and the other very frequently and guess which one got the upgrade. Like I said....I could be wrong.

Did you signup these two accounts at the same time? What is your MSN regional settings? Mine is set to Taiwan. I believe they are upgrading region by region.

I click on the address below and then click on "go to hotmail" , when i log in, my account became 250 MB. This is really interesting [^][>:D<]

That's not possible, may be they just upgraded yours before you logged in..[:)] My region is still set to India, I don't think they will upgrade that region earlier.. I am guessing If you sign up for a new account, you will surely get 250mb, but who wants a new account just for that..

formosa
I heard tat it's upgrading by region .... most of the people frm australia , austria , canada ... got 250 MB

That sounds plausible - regional upgrade. One account (the one that got upgraded and that I use often) I have had for 7-8 yrs and the other I got last year. They are both set to Canada.

This morning, I checked my account and was surprised it had been upgraded to 250 mb. I feel much relieved now I dont have to delete my junk mails. [:I] [img]http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-11/874628/hotmail.jpg [/img] Kudos Microsoft!!!

I'm still stuck with my darn 2MB [:(!]....hey Gates, when do u plan to upgrade your loyal fan's mailbox...I have been patronising your services since the day you bought Hotmail from Sabeer Bhatia....to be honest, I dont really give a damn anymore on the sizes of my email boxes (no body writes neways!!) and the only mails I receive everyday are junk porn mails (which have made me into a porn freak!![}:)]) which Microsoft try their best everyday to filter out as spam, but still these mails just ever so silently creep into my inbox and I can't help but click on them [}:)]

davidli2k
Finally, "they" made my Inbox 250 MB....I think everyone should become 250 MB from 1st Dec...
