Hotmail is undoubtedly the most well known free email service in world, and I'm sure most of you will know what ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free!! fast, great features, reliable, easy to access and navigate

    Disadvantages Disadvantages server can sometimes get too busy, account expires after 30 days if not used

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MSN Hotmail ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am pretty sure that everyone has heard of Hotmail but just in case you haven't, it is basically a free email service which is accessed online via the hotmail or MSN website. Apparently hotmail is the world's largest provider of free, web-based e-mail which isn't really surprising as it is such an easy service to use. Hotmail allows anyone with a Hotmail account to read and receive e-mail messages from any computer in the world that has an Internet connection and a supported web browser that allows graphics, such as ... more

    5 Stars A Great Free Email Service 14/02/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Its Free

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Spam

    I have had a Hotmail account for many years now, I originally opened it for the purpose of using MSN Messenger. At the time I opened the account Hotmail was a very basic service with only 2MB of storage space, don't get me wrong I am not complaining after all it is a free service but I found that I couldn't send or receive large attachments so I continued to use my ISP email address for these sort of things. The only thing wrong with this is that I could only access my emails from my own pc unlike Hotmail where you can access from all over the world on any pc. Over the years as Hotmail became ... more

    4 Stars A GREAT FREE EMAIL SERVICE 06/01/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free Email

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Spam

    I have had an email account with Hotmail for 5 years now and have seen it get better and better over these 5 years. Hotmail is a free service although you can upgrade your account for an annual fee. When i first started with Hotmail there was limited storage space of 2MB which was useless really if you were sending or receiving large attachments but now it is 25MB its great as you can send and receive attachments up to 10MB. Getting Started is easy just go to www.hotmail.com and instead of using the sign in section on the right hand side of the screen just click the sign up button on the left ... more

    5 Stars HOT HOT Hotmail! 19/05/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages large mailbox

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I love this service. They are by far the best email providers out there. They wont sell your email address or information and there is little down time. After having a Yahoo email account for many years I decided to open a Hotmail account for work purposes. I really like the size of the mail box youre given 5gb to start. You can fit so much in before you start having to delete. When youre starting to fill up they will increase your mailbox size if you want. Hotmail is really easy to sign up for and takes less than 5 mins. The account is easy to navigate and return emails are easy to write. I ... more

    1 Star Not My emails.... 18/02/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages nothing in this day and age

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ads, bad interface, spam, not much space for new users, everything else i couldnt think of

    Well i have had my htomail account for over 5 years and in that time it has just got worse and worse. When i made the account it was great ! fast and easy to access and a decent user interface. But as time went on it just got slower and slwoer toa point when sometimes you couldn't even check your mail as the server was too busy. The main problem without a doubt is the amount of spam/junk mail you get. All i get on my hotmail now is spam (no i dont want a bigger penis!) it's just soo soo annoying! some become convincing as they can use your name.... BEWARE people with ebay/paypal the amount of ... more

    4 Stars The HOT email! 16/09/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good interface, easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not for the slow connection.

    Almost anyone who uses the internet has an account on hotmail.com or if not now, once had one. I wouldn't be wrong if I say hotmail was the pioneer of web based email. Hotmail is Microsoft's email service. Initially, it used to provide a few mb of space. But then as more and more companies like yahoo and google came into the race, hotmail has to increase its space to 5gb. The new interface of hotmail is really user friendly. It's as good as working on email software on your computer; with right click options to tree view of emails. But at the same time, like any other web application, its ... more

    3 Stars HOTMAIL 01/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages linked in with msn, junk filter, virus checker

    Disadvantages Disadvantages slow, rife with problems

    I use hotmail an unbelieveable amount, due to it being tied into msn. Theres no installation, simply register. However be wary as guessable answers to secret questions opens you up to hackers, and there are plenty of them out there. Hotmail also seems to be the email spam artists favour, possibly due to it being free and easy to have multiple accounts. What I like about this product is that it alerts you ( tied in with msn) to a new email received. Emails are also filtered for safety and downloads are checked for virus as a routine. It also warns you may be risking things if you decide to ... more

    2 Stars Too much spam, and limited storage 18/12/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages You can access your emails anywhere

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too much spam, and limited storage

    Hotmail is a web-based email service provided by Microsoft. I used it for a couple of years but had to cancel my account as I seemed to be getting so much spam. I have used other web-based accounts since, particularly yahoo, and have never found the same amount of spam coming through to my inbox. One of Hotmail's selling points is that it provides 5GB of space, which I have to admit is quite a lot for a web-based email service, but why sign up for a service which has ANY limits for storage when yahoo now offers unlimited storage of emails, including attachments of up to 10MB per email? I ... more
