Hotmail in all new avataar

W

Microsoft is expected to begin its rollout of the next version of Hotmail, possibly as early as Wednesday. Code-named "Kahuna," this Hotmail update will sport a new interface, automatic inbox refreshing and a preview pane enabling users to read and respond to e-mail without ever leaving their inbox.

Included with the Hotmail upgrade is a bump of the storage space for free users to two gigabytes :shock:

no way
yahoo is the best
i just love it

I use hotmail/Yahoo/ and Gmail.

Who trusts M$? They can resort to their dirty tricks anytime they want :roll: I use a hotmail account simply because some friends are on MSN messenger

like hotmail. hardly junkmail filters are nice !

C

I prefer hotmail to others anyday & if u get more free space then it is better.

W

I personally hate Hotmail coz the amount of spam i get.
I once heard Bill Gate$ gets about a million spam messages a day.
I guess those guys at M$ are redirecting all the spam to hotmail users :twisted:

will Indian users be again given a cold attention. I mean will it take months again for that to reflect for Indian hotmail users??

no thanx.. yahoo gmail and rediff are ok...

got a mail invitation from AOL on my old AOL ID... they're giving 2GB space... and inteface sucks!!...

thts good... i just started getting feeling like... I hate this current hotmail interface... it's too slow even on high speed net... tht'll be good if MS make it lil bit like gmail interface.. with light colors, which looks good... and smooth edges...

ok thanx for the info .. just signed up for a hotmail a/c and luckily got the id i wanted ... if it improves i will use this as i dint get my desired id on gmail. btw right now gmail is d best ... (beware : gmail reads ur mails !!!!)

Hmm.. Here are the Screenshots ..

Hmm.. Yeah, one could never trust MS. All MS offers look charismatic but reality is just opposite. I would never keep Hotmail ( Kahuna or whatever) as my primary account. Though I can't totally ignore it because most of my friends are on MSN messeger. Gmail and Fastmail do the work for me

And yeah baby, I daily get around 10 spams on hotmail and I havent given my hotmail account ever on web. Just few personal friends know it

N

I also have heard of some secret Hotmail test servers HMTEST dot COM

I use both Hotmail & yahoo. I love both & I will have to wait & see how the new one from MS looks like.

Gmail all the way...
Yahoo for the "other mails"
and hotmail for MSN msngr

I'll Never dream of it.

MSN is losing the battle of emails and i am on it's biggest enemy's side - Gmail.(2446 mb+)

F

Who trusts M$? They can resort to their dirty tricks anytime they want

Lol I think this sums it up nicely. I'd stay with gmail even if they increased the space to 5gb.

R

No way. hotmail's too slow with all the security.

I LOVE GMAILespecially the gmail notifier in firefox !

I hate MSN and its usual blah-blah, the site too is very heavy...

S

Just checked my hotmail after about 2 months...
And they are still sruck at measly 2 MB?

Non-sense.
Gmail Rocks!
Yahoo has too many ads.

i have my shortest hotmail (msn) IDs

x10d<at>msn.com

&

o0p<at>msn.com (with 2GB mailbox) [regd in 2001 when msn registrations were open for a short time, and they boosted its Space to 2 GB recently]

if they also provide it with free POP access, i can consider using it !

i will not shift dude

i love my gmail

S

You must be kidding to me to switch over to hotmail...
infact i deactivated my hotmail account a long time back..

Will u make the switch from ur existing Gmail/Yahoo to Hotmail?>>

Oh, I've been wanting to leave the little bugger for ages. I barely use it anymore, although I must admit, Ver.7 (when it finally loads after exactly 3 days) it's quite decent... except for all the crap they are trying to make you sign-up for.

I hope google can implement all the good stuff and forget all the crap.

- or make it so you can disavle flash "winks" or enable them if you want, also create your own... reason being, flash is too powerfull to be able to just launch it on sombody... but if you could enable it with friends, that would be cool.

I too have a MSN ID but its no diff from hotmail with same interface and stuck at 2 MB.

Who said MSN.com mail registrations are closed. They are still open and free. If you wanna know how then just PM me.

For ordinary user with a dial up connection Gmail is the best. As it takes absolutely no time to surf inside gmail, once logged in.

if you are having a faster conection Yahoo is the Best bet as it integrates all possible services.

My primary email is always Hotmail and then comes my private pop mail and then yahoo & gmail.

The new theme is soo simple.

Hotmail ? Oh, that antiqity, maybe i remember. No way, gmail rocks, plus i have a personal address as well.

The latest news is Hotmail started to increase the inbox size of Indian citizens to 25MB recently. My Inbox was updated on Sunday automatically and now I can send a single mail of upto 10MB. This is great, because I think 25MB is a sufficient Inbox size for most of us. Isn't it!

Why r u giving links to images from a site which needs one to register before one can see anything?

Normal visitors cannot see anything except the error page !

I am too Integrated with Yahoo! I cannot Shift.
Not even to Gmail!

K

I like hotmail, yahoo, gmail. Cause I can recv all of them to my Outlook without any plugins

R

Hotmail is good but the size (m.b)is small.soon u will get 250 m.b..And latter 1 g.b.

R

Why we want to switch?We can create and avail the benefit.The question u asked is wrong...

My opinion

Well,the new web-mail based beta interface of `Y.a.h.o.o. mail` includes an option for including really simple syndication feeds into the inbox.

Hmmm .. I didnt know that Oobertech required people to register to view the pages as I am logged in so it never asked me any password ..

Anyways .. Some of the screenshots are here .. These are part of review I wrote for my site ..

Gmail is better thn hotmail and now wid antivirus protection it is just too gud.just hope they start allowing .exe files to be attached in their mails.u cant even recieve an .exe file from others!this thing really sux and i have 2 use yahoo for this.And google talk needs a hell of an improvement if it has 2 stand against yahoo msngr and MSN msngr.

Hello

Yahoo!!! n Goooooogle both r good n i m using both, but ppl have a look at the Rediff Mail it continiously improving step by step with right clicks n much more if u all havent had a look to it (or had it a long ago ) give it an another look. Its the same wat ppl r talking abt the new Hotmail n Yahoo mail.

An India's answer to Yahoo n Google

:!:

I am currently on gmail.
But my friend is in love with hotmail due to its
nice interface and he is not caring about space
I think msn will strike back and get a descent share
of webmail business if
they act quickly and wisely.

My opinion

No,infact,I did the other way round:I switched to `Y.a.h.o.o. ! India Mail` FROM `Hotmail`.

err.. when is the look changing??????? its stil same ol looks for me....

The look will change only if you are a Windows Live Mail beta tester.You have to get an invitation from Microsoft.

i will only ise yahoo

C

wats not to like huh ?

it's clear, fast, simple & has a lot of added features
specially, when comparing it with yahoo mail beta; i must say,
Microsoft has done something right and better here

Yup,if u could signup as from US,u'l get it free in 1 week,but thatd be illegal no,wont it

M

using hotmail only for my msn msgr buddies
always use yahoo as my primary.. but now porting towards making gmail my primary

Yahoo! is the best.
But i am seeking for a day when yahoo! adds pop3 support for free mail.

When gmail offers me 2.7 gb space, POP3 support, AJAX interface etc why should i change.

I have an account with almost all providers. But Gmail is the best!!!
