Hotmail

Post by Doin »

I am not sure if it's because I am still getting used to it or that I just don't like it but I haven't exactly warmed to the new format of Hotmail - Live Hotmail.
I prefered the old hotmail. It was easier to navigate and when people sent links within the email it didn't ask you to unblock it before allowing access.

How have other Hotmail users found it?

Yeah I'm with you! The new one is not as clear as the old one. It starts with the login and the navigation isn't better either. Also the new live msn isn't that much of an upgrade to me..

I only use my Hotmail account for MSN. So it doesn't bother me when I have to log-in to delete the occasional Spam email that leaks in

I like the new hotmail (Windows Live Mail) look. For me it loads much faster and has better junk email detection than before.

I have noticed that it's faster.
I am still getting used to it. I didn't get a choice to stay with the old one.

Ditto. The only time I get real mail in Hotmail is when someone sends me something because they see my MSN addy and don't have G-mail address. I love G-mail! It would take a lot to make me switch to any other email service.

Yeah, Gmail is great. And the spam filter works almost 100%. I'm very satisfied with it too.
