I have already given up on Hotmail... It's slow, and worse of all, I get tons of spam... now I only use my hotmail account to sign up for stuff on the internet so I dont get spam in my other accounts...

Goddamn it its been bad since yesterday. I quit hotmail a year ago but then came back cause they finally got their server in order. I get a lot of spam...normally their service is decent though but this is annoying. I heard they have 5,000 servers running hotmail alone.

Wasn't up just a few minutes ago.

I hardly get spam in my Hotmail accounts. I use webmail to keep spam out of my main account, but for some reason, someone sold me out to the spammers.:|

Hotmail is way fast compared to Mail.com.

You know, if you guys would take all the checks out of the boxes that ask if you want extra info when signing up for a new hotmail account, you wouldn't get all that spam. I have had a hotmail account for over a year now, and get no spam whatsoever. I only get email from my friends and family, and I signed up for a Sega newsletter, which they don't give out or sell their email addy list.

Didn't Hotmail try to install Windows NT but failed, so they continued using Unix?

WoodchuckCharlie:

Yeah I did that when I signed up long ago, and never had spam mails... But remember around a year or so ago there was a hotmail security breach? Well I dont know if it's related but right after that I started getting a lot of spam mails...

And I am sure me putting my hotmail e-mail address for my ICQ account doesn't help neither...

Hotmail has been slower than molasses lately, but still working. I thought it was just the network here. I really can't complain since it's free. As for spam, I don't get any at all in my Hotmail account. All you have to do is set the filters properly, all spam (and anything from an E-mail address ending in .ru) is sent directly to my trash can.
