is anyone else being sent emails from microsoft telling them one by one they're losing they're services on the "free" version of hotmail and trying to PUSH us into the charged version?? ITS OUTRAGEOUS!!!

not only do microsoft bully us with a software monopoly they're now trying to control us by hotmail and get MORE money out of us!!!

the reason why i subscribed to hotmail was because it was free and had decent services like messnger, address book POP mail retrierval and it was an all in one solution for home and uni. but now they're telling me i hafta pay £20 per year for pop mail services now and its gonna get to the stage where we'll be charged for even having an account! can anyone reccomend a good alternative apart from yahoo???

i really hope microsoft fall down hard soon as it seems they're just bullying us users and trying to extract more money for no reason other than shear profit margins.

:mad:

Yeah, I saw that as well. I'm looking for something that can filter more than 250 private blocks.
