I got this e-mail November 9th:

quote:
IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED
Dear MSN Hotmail Member,

Your MSN® Hotmail® account is approaching the 2 MB storage limit. You need to take immediate action to avoid losing messages!

If your e-mail account reaches the 2 MB limit, you’ll be sent a second notification. You must then reduce the size of your e-mail account within five days. If you do not, some of your messages will be automatically deleted and cannot be recovered.

To prevent this automatic deletion, you can reduce the size of your e-mail account by:

image Deleting messages that you no longer need, especially those with large attachments. Be sure to check all of your folders.
image Frequently monitoring your e-mail account's size. See below for tips.

To avoid deleting important messages, you can purchase additional storage for your e-mail account.

And checking it today, it's now at 250 megs. Took you long enough, Microsoft.

Why don't you use gmail Eddie? I have 6 invites I could give you (and so does Niki and the rest of the world).

Its a whole gig, so still 4 times as much room. Plus its just a better email program.

Yeah, both of my hotmail accounts were upgraded a couple of weeks ago. Not that I need them to be as I have a gmail account but I haven't really transitioned to using gmail as my primary webmail yet.

Mine seems to have increased overnight. [Big Grin]

But my daughter says hers hasn't increased yet.

My hotmail account is still at 2mb, I only use it for a few email lists and stuff i really don't care about so it's not that big of deal, but I've been waiting on it to increase for months.

I use my hotmail only when I'm registering for something online. I usually have to reactivate it every time I want to use it, because I rarely visit it. But it serves its purpose. [Smile]

Mine's been at 250M for a few months now, but only because I bugged them with a bunch of emails.

A friend of mine cleaned out his email last week, getting rid of a bunch of good emails so he could stay under the 2M limit. Later that same day, they upgraded him.

Mine's at 250 MB, but I don't know how long its been there. I looked just now and noticed, but I check hotmail about once every two weeks.

Mine was upgraded right after I posted earlier. I have some messages from 2000 left in there, it was my first email account.
