news.zdnet.co.uk — "The drip-drip-drip of user dissatisfaction suggests that all is not well at Hotmail, although Microsoft insists otherwise...one analyst cautioned that Microsoft risked losing Hotmail customers who suffered a poor service, even if they aren't in a position to take legal action.

I use to love the emails they would send me every couple weeks. "We value you as a customer but if you don't log in every 30 days we will erase your inbox, address book and all your archived emails ... unless of course you send us $$$$". Yea that's valuing me alright. I dumped hotmail over a year ago. Why put up with that crap when with gmail you get basically the same thing - without the no so veiled threats?

The majority of Hotmail issues said on Digg are spam related. Here is a newsflash to everyone you gets spam, be very very careful about who you give your email to and keep your PC free from Keyloggers Spyware and you will never be bothered by spam again.I myself have a hotmail email for over a year now and it is my primary email account but I have NEVER received a single spam message.

I still have my Hotmail account but don't use it except to see what the good spam of the week is.It was my first email address, from 1997 and I'm sentimental. Maybe I'm just mental and should get over it.

I have not experienced the connectivity problems that are noted in the story. Like others that have made comments in this section, the spam filtering is the worst. They ought to try gray lining as well as other methodologies on their servers to improve quality. Otherwise, users will continue to use them as a junk repository.

I have never had problems with hotmail in outlook. It always works like a charm. Their new beta is working really good aside from the few bugs that they already know and are working on(it is a beta). I have just as much spam on hotmail as I do gmail. Yahoo by far i have the most spam, but that was always my junk email, but I know people who have signed up for yahoo and had spam before they even ever used it aside from giving it to family. Hotmail has been 250 for a long time, about a month after yahoo did its first bump to 250. I know you can say yeah its only 250mb I can get 2.5+gb from gmail. Who cares? Do you even realize how many emails that is? I have over 2000 in my yahoo account and thats 11mb worth. How can you keep track of 2.5gb of email?! And who wants to save ever email they recive? I sure don't.
