daneee69's Review of MSN Hotmail, www.hotmail.com
24th Jun 2004
Overall Rating
- Content

- Cheaper than chips!
- Site is pretty much never down.
- Emails wherever you are.
Bad Points
- Still get spam in-box even with junk e-mail set to exclusive and with all 10 free filters in place for the obvious.
- Can get slow when busy.
- Been around since internet was born so getting a unique user name becomes a bit hard.
General Comments
MSN Hotmail - Can't overly argue with this, it's free, and accessible anywhere.
This was the first ever e-mail service I used and have never needed any other web based provider.
Granted the storage limit is a bit low, at 2MB, this doesn't bode too well for large image or sound files but I have found it an ample amount for my needs.
Hotmail, however, does give you the option for upgrading your account, the prices are yearly:
- £14.99 gives you 10MB storage and a 3MB attachment limit.
- £19.99, 25MB storage and a 10MB attachment limit.
- £29.99, 50MB storage and a 15MB attachment limit.
- £39.99, 100MB storage and a 20MB attachment limit.
There are only two problems I have found using Hotmail, they are opening a link:
Clicking a link opens a new browser and puts it in a Hotmail frame, dead frustrating when you only have a "click here" option and want to know the actual URL of the site.
Secondly, the junk mail issue. I have got mine set to exclusive and have all 10 filters in place for the obvious keywords but somehow there's one or two mails a week that still crop up in my Inbox - you can't have everything I suppose for free.
But it'll be interesting to see what hotmail do to respond to G-Mail and Yahoo.
G-Mail offers for free 1000 MB and Yahoo have just increased their storage to 100MB.
Let the email storage wars begin! - Not bad for the consumer, it's FREE!
On average, people found this review very helpful
