It has an inbox, same as before. i can send, same as before. What's it do? I hate looking around new software for features and crap.

As far as I know, it just looks differently :confused:
 

You only get 10,000 spam messages a day on it, as opposed to 25,000 before.

i hate it. i'd so much rather the damn thing was just webmail and not some half assed attempt at a content delivery system. when i sign in, take me to my inbox. i have 0 messages from my contacts yet i have 36 messages in my inbox, why didn't you tell me that? it's trying too hard.

It's awful. It uses unrooted JS for the inbox now... meaning i cant right click and open a message in a new window. Which sucks, because if i have a lot of mail to read, i have to keep pressing the "back" button and letting the page reload to go down the list. It's also incredibly annoying that theyve got read mail moving down from oldest to newest... yet new messages show up at the top of the list. They need to pick one direction and stick with it. If i read a message now, and then click the back button to return to my inbox and either move or delete that message, i have to then scroll all the way to the bottom of the page because it immediately jumps down there now after its been read.

So... yeah. I'll end that borderline-incoherent rant with this: Hotmail = teh sux0r.

You know what's strange. I've given out my hotmail address once (to a place where I fully expected to get spam). Either I never ended up getting any or its being flagged and deleted by hotmail. Whatever the case, I get zero spam on my hotmail account. I just checked it for the first time in months. 3 e-mail from "hotmail staff". No bad IMHO.

I don't like the fact that the first page shows the junk mail folder but not the inbox.

Realistically, they should give users the choice between the old look and the new look. For me, I'd rather have the old look.

Exactly! That is my biggest rant.
