- buttaflyy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27:21 in florida and it just worked for me. i will evaluate it late. back to porn.
- hollidaydoc1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Worked for me using a mac. Used Opera identifying itself as Internet Explorer and followed the steps. Just wanted to see if it worked. Don't really care to switch over from gmail.
- catullus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yep. not for me. i get to the page with this on it: http://computerhelpforum.org/somefool/wp-content/uploads/2005/12/wlm_2.gif , and then i click "Join Mail Beta" and it just takes me back to the regular hotmail. in IE btw
- BT-Wang, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1voila? anyone? I've known that since I was 9, anyone ashamed of this guy?
I wouldn't have done this but since I already have a junk hotmail account, I don't see why I can't take a look. - _Simplistic_, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Works.

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I'm glad it works and all, but um...Windows Live Mail...WHY do I want that?
- ppflea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It worked for me too. +Digg
- alceria, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Bleh, who cares?
- Sconbox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It works, just make sure you are on IE and windows. Cause IE on mac doesn't work.
- corebreach, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"This is step 6. Walla!"
I hope he means "Voila!" - arostad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Good find...Great digg
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0cool... works in ie6
- baka-dono, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Worked fine for me. You have to have a "real" hotmail address, not one linked with the Live Domains service. Works great on my machine.
- tburke261, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Works, I wont use it, i would much rather use my exchange server, or gmail, but it's cool.
- crapiolio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0NICE! Works perfectly. Now I want to try the Yahoo! Mail Beta also so I can compare them.
- arzdb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Once you sign up if you do get invites to pass out (similarly to gmail), I'd appreciate one arzdb AT comcast.net. Thanks.
- wheels999, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Just worked for me.
- merdeisel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wont work for me also... tried it a couple of times... could some one send an invite porter480@hotmail.com... thanks.

- FarcicalFart, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Works great, thanks!
- ninxmz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It works, nice.
- bemick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Works for me.
- TheDeadMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0works fine... would be interesting to see if once we do this, we can log into msn 8
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Worked for me. Anyone really care though? I'll continue to use my hotmail account like I have been, signing up for accounts so I don't get spammed. Thank you Gmail.
- TC-14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It worked! Thanks.
Looks like a pretty neat system, I like the new layout, although its a bit too white for my eyes.
+digg - jacobk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Not working for me. 12/31/05 7pm EST. :(
- jak119, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Just tried to create a new account and it told me the passport service is down so I'm guessing that it is being flooded by people wanting to accounts. Also what's so special about Windows Mail anyways?
- link470, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awsome!! Worked perfectly, thanks for the link. Dugg.
- caseyparsons, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Just worked for me. 12/31/05 7pm EST
- arzdb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0When I click the join beta link it just redirects me back to normal hotmail, anyone else getting that problem?
- redalert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It didnt work for me even though i tried it many times, but could anyone who got it give me an invite. My email is formation5@hotmail.com. Thanks alot!
- namahs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0works for me, this just looks like an online version of outlook 2003
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0worked no problem!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0and after your done you can use firefox
- mateo60, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Um, are we all getting phished??
- TheDecn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Definitely works...cool, I'm in! Though I'm not sure I like it very much at first glance. I'll have to play with it for a bit.
- Tyler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0worked for me
- SODA8297, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0it worked for me
- foshizol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It worked for me also.
- Syngensmyth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yep, it works. Gmail 2.
- staticten, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What?
I didn't get an invite but i've had it since last month..?
there should be a link some where on you inbox page..
that's where I enabled mine. (yes, they ask if you want to try the beta) - ray4389, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yea I don't think it is working anymore. Same problem.
- YoctoYotta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Worked for me too. The right click functionality is pretty clever. It's too bad you can't scroll through the message folders using your arrow keys though. The calandar seems nice too . . . very fast at editing on a decent broadband connection.
- BigJuiceMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Bah! GMail be good'nuff for me
- reets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0worked here :D thanx
- Cerberus047, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i have @msn.com not @hotmail.com nooooooooooo
- GodfreyDaniel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Has some nice features, but can't believe you still can't insert an image, and they disabled the context menu. And that they're still using > >> >>> for quoted email is incomprehensibly lame.
This enhanced hotmail will remain the email addy I use for those not worthy of my realmail. - Buddybot111, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0well now that i did it once, it seems i cant do it again, it automaticly brings my msn account to the beta page. Heres the message I get at the beta page:
We just started building this version of the Mail Beta that works for all browsers. We’re not done yet, so some functionality is missing right now. You can read your mail right now by clicking on the Inbox.
Note that the web browser you are using does not yet support all Mail Beta functionality. You can still use this browser to access basic Mail Beta functionality, like reading and composing messages. We will make more functionality available for this web browser soon. - invader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0they had me try out the beta a while ago, but then their systems were having problems for almost an entire day and i couldn't access my mail.. i wasn't at all impressed with the new version, and didn't like getting locked out of my account, so i switched back to hotmail. a day or two later, they asked me to switch over again, and i ignored them.
it would have been even worse if my hotmail was my primary email account. luckily, i have gmail for that. -
