    Old news really. To check your hotmail with pop, you have had to get hotmail plus for ages, costing 20 euro a year and gives 1gb storage.
    Gmail - 2.7gb, free pop, and its not MS!!!
    It's a no brainer to me. How can they justify charging if there's better products for free? The evil gates keeper shall have none of my money!

    I get zero spam on my hotmail atm. I got a small number at one stage but that stopped after I started labelling it as junk. Of course, if your using your hotmail account to sign up to dodgy "free" p0rn sites then expect junk mail :)

    I was using myrealbox.com since about 1999 but had to give up using them as they only gave me 10MB space and the spam was getting out of hand, so made the move to GMail back in Oct and I couldn't be happier

    Spam blocking on gmail is best I've come acrosss so far :)

    Nah I use Gmail for that and still get no spam. Unlike hotmail which even gets spam from MS.

    Gmail = Good
    Hotmail != Good

    So what if hotmail have made their free inboxes 250MB, gmail offers 2.7GB (and counting)... so it is gmail for me then :)

    With gmail you have about 2,000 messages in your inbox and you are only using 0% :eek:

    WOW
