Aethec Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 No matter hat revamp, i always view @hotmail.* as a teenie bopper email. That's why you can get a @live.* address instead of an @hotmail.* one Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishan_rulz Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I have a @live.com account since a very long time. Plus, I have added my Yahoo! and Gmail account to it, so I can check all my E-mails from one place. Looking forward to the revamp. Yes, it could use a little/lot of tweaking here and there.

JDPower Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I'd rather they sorted out the amount of spam that gets sent from Hotmail accounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aethec Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 i dont understand? Either way i prefer my own server When registering an Hotmail account, you can chose between @hotmail.* (e.g. @hotmail.fr for France) and @live.* (e.g. @live.fr for France) Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted June 11, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 11, 2010 I'd rather they sorted out the amount of spam that gets sent from Hotmail accounts That's why I stopped using Hotmail ages ago, I simply gave up on it and my mother constantly deals with all the spam. When there's more spam than actual legit emails it's time switch to another provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishan_rulz Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I wanted to go Gmail but I have so many things attached to my E-mail that I cannot afford to, at least till my High School is over. Even my username is from the "stupid-age-to-make-an-EmailID" era. Simplicity is hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted June 11, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 11, 2010 Out of all my email accounts, including hotmail, only Opera Mail and Yahoo Mail are completely spam free. After a bad time with spam a year or so ago, Yahoo has really gotten on top of it with a spam free experience. Opera I've only used for a few months, but spam free so far.

Opera Mail is very spam free and it's what I switched to years ago. The amount of spam I get on Opera Mail I can literally count on one hand for a full year. However I also have set up some good filters that bounces anything spammy into the Junk or Trash folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When there's more spam than actual legit emails it's time switch to another provider. I've got an Hotmail account I use for some websites (when I don't want to give my true e-mail address), and it never gets any spam in the Inbox. Maybe it's because it's still an @windowslive.com account - they don't exist any more - and smappers don't target them Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razz Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I've been using yahoo.com for quite some time now and with very little spam problems. I say very little because a few months ago I received 1 email telling me I could get very rich by helping this fellow deposit millions into my bank account as a way of him getting his money safely out of his country. Naturally I agreed and then ran away with his millions. Oops! Hopefully he won't see this post and track me down A-Z Freeware Launcher Plus on MajorGeeks A-Z Freeware Launcher Plus on Softpedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ishan_rulz Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Time for Hotmail to be revived again? And 'tis for Office 2010 = Simplicity is hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted June 18, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 18, 2010 I use my live email more than any other now. Gmail despite what most claim gives me more spam than any other. My yahoo address is still active since its my first, but I try to get all my important emails and emails from friends/family at my live account. I don't get spam at all on that account, plus the live mail desktop client is fantastic in the way it syncs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
