:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:| I keep getting that message like 20 times a day from stupid-ass Hotmail :|:|:|:|:|:|:|

I want to get a different provider, but I really don't want to change my email address. Is there anything out there that will auto-forward things for me?

I don't know of any proxies that will grab mail from hotmail unless hotmail starts offering a POP service. :(

I was using a free service that started charging $20 a year. I didn't feel like changing my email address nor was $20 that big a deal for the relatively reliable service so I bit the bullet and paid them. I never have used nor would use Hotmail! Although I get occassional Spam it's in way as bad as Hotmail or Yahoo.

well hotmail has a max of 2mb of storage so how much bandwith can you need? i've never used more than 15mb in a month.
