there are way better free services

most hotmail users aren't aware of the fact that they often do not even receive emails sent to them...

I receive all e-mails sent to me! I don't trust any other free service providers, they work fine for certain period of time than they go belly up or start to provide crap. Hotmail is backed by MNS. I been using it for years.

yea that's what you think....

yahoo has been around forever and they are more reliable (more space too iirc).

i support email list servers for my job and hotmail/msn addresses produce the most bounces BY FAR. and this is not people typing the email address in wrong... these are real email addresses. occasionally they'll produce "user not found" (ha... ) but more commonly they produce "service unavailable". resend it the next day and it works fine. i quit using hotmail when i saw how common this was

I have a hotmail account but it gets so much junk..which I do empty out. I prefer to use my YAHOO email as it is a better service.
