    tried signing into hotmail today, but am faced with agreeing to the "MSN Service Agreement" and "MSN Privacy Statement"

    Anyone get the same message, is your a/c suspended if you dont agree to them?

    So go to www.passport.com and register your Gmail address as a Passport account. Problem solved.

    Gmail is the way to go 2gb of webspace I believe.

    2.18 gig at the moment, i think. It actually increases by about 50bytes per second. And, if you can actually fill your 2 gigs, a quick email to the nice people at google, and they will bring it up to 5 gigs for you.

    just type in your email address and click agree then click on hotmail underneath and it will go straight to your email account

    dont particularly want to sign an agreement when im not sure exactly what im entering into when i agree, think i'll choose "cancel" and see what happens

    I would get a gmail account but i've had my hotmail one for years and I like msn messenger!

    Is there any way of forwarding all mail from one account to another??

    That 2mb in hotmail is terrible, about two days of junk mail fills it up its really bad.

    ye don't have to have hotmail for msn, as mentioned just sign up for a passport and get a gmail account. 2mb / 2gb...hmmm...what would I do!

    my frinend showed me his account. He ported over all his old emails to gmail and they filled it, so he sent a nice email to the admins at google, and they gave him more space. They will only give you more space if you fill 2gigs. And only if you have it filled with genuine emails. ie- not a warez dump / spam archive ;)

    if u dont want to ditch hotmail, u can get ur hotmail a/c upgraded to 250mb easily enough ...there was a post about it a few months back, worked a treat for me. as i said i use gmail now, but still get the odd email to hotmail so its nice to have the space.

    dont think u can make use of all messengers features without having a hotmail address.
