250mb of free space is plenty, 2 gigs for paying customers, that is ridiculous, guess i won't need my gmail account after all...

why have 250mb, when you can have 1000mb, also if your not going to use your gmail, hoping you were kidding, you might wanna give it to some other kirupian who still dosen't have one.

I have an account with my ISP, so there!

unlimited space, no restrictions.

[evolution]

ha, that is even better, I got one too, but it is the dumbest name, so I never use it...

couple of days ago there was a thread called "Best e-mail ever"...I think thats what it was called. Anyway it mentioned a provider called CrispyMail. I ahd a look at the site and kind of liked it, liked the size of mailbox so I signed up.

Only thing is that after for using it for two days, it's vanished. Everytime I go to the address it ain't there. It was at http://www.crispymail.com but it's just vanished, practically overnight.

Weird :puzzled:

their still there they were just bought out, go to their new email service. ;)

[RabBell]

is it a different address or something cause I get timeout messages or host not found error messages :h:

who bought them out?

[evolution]

they were bought out by some company named : United Email Systems here is the link to their page LINK (http://www.crispymail.com/index2.html)

don´t say that :scream: :D

great, now my hotmail account has more space to accumulate with spam messages. Until Microsoft fixes that problem (which will be around never) by installing a better filter, I'm not gonna go back to using my hotmail account, which i've had for years now.

:a:

what ISP do u have . i got cox and they only give me 10mb

[bodyvisual]

heh, i really like how my hotmail filter is set up.. it's set on exclusive, so i don't get any spam in the inbox.. besides, i only use that account for msgs from forums ;)

btw, why the hell does every friggin email company feel the need to compete w/ google?

and, on the subject of gmail, i've magically got 6 gmail invites i wanna give away.. u2u for info..

btw, 100th post ^__^

[evolution]

I don't know what is up, I still haven't gotten my invites to give out yet, also the other companies feel they have to compete because they want to have the majority of the market, to raise stock prices, that darn Microsoft, not gonna bad mouth Yahoo though, they still kick butt. But hey google is just way better.

and congrats on the 100 post, I was on mine sometime on monday or sunday this week I think, I have been postin like crazy this week.:thumb:

250MB...more space for more ads!
Now you can be the man of steel, relieve debts and sell your house up to 7x more each day!

SCREW MICROSOFT HOTMAIL.....................

I love Microsoft more than most, and yes hotmail is free, but they have been making money off us using it with ads so I have the right to *****.

They could have given us more space anytime they wanted, but but they didn't because they want to squeeze ever dollar per customer they can.

The only reason that they are now offering more.... Is because of GMAIL....
We all owe it to GMAIL to join GMAIL.

So as soon as I can get a GMAIL account i will be getting rid of my Hotmail which I have been using for 4 years.... And I will never be going back !

To little to late MICROSOFT..... You lost my loyalty

So far, the best thing I've noticed about the new Yahoo 100 mb is that I don't have to go in as often to empty the bulk folder of my spare account (y'know, the one you use when they require an e-mail address but you don't want to give them your real one?). That could be dangerous, though. I've already had several hundred accumulate. Large mailboxes breed laziness.

At least in me.
