No More Free Hotmail Lunch For Outlook Users
|
MSN, citing spam-abuse concerns, has decided to end free access to Hotmail via Outlook and Outlook Express. In Microsoft's defense, Hotmail was one of the few Web e-mail services that offered such a service for free. And a relatively small number of users (five to seven percent) signed up for the service. But now you can't access Hotmail through Outlook unless you pony up for a paid Hotmail subscription. |

I don't mind paying for the service if they come outright and say it is now a paid Premium service, but to blame it on abuse by Spammers and "punish" normal users like myself is simply full of B.S.
I will stop my Hotmail when the day comes and move to Yahoo! Mail - and over there they give 100MB storage.
