Lastly, and here’s the part I don’t get… I don’t get any spam on my Hotmail account, and without even using it, I get about 3 spam emails a week on my Gmail account.

I really don’t get where the anti-Hotmail sentiment comes from, or calling it aged or whatever, because to me, it’s completely backwards. At one point in time, many years back, Gmail appeared like the new thing to me, but after the last major Hotmail update, Gmail is completely a thing of the past for me. Guess it’s just point of view though.

MSN/Hotmail only started supporting POP about two years ago — nearly a decade after POP was obsolete.

My mom gets both her G-Mail and her Hotmail e-mails in her Apple mail client.

While G-Mail, configured for IMAP, works flawlessly, the POP service is always broken whenever I visit her. I figure it coincides when somebody sends her a large attachment (video, power point file, etc), or some message gets corrupted, which can cause problems with POP.

Because Hotmail/POP stops working, she is force to go back to Hotmail’s crappy web interface. I’d like for her to be able to get her e-mail in one place (the desktop client) without hassle. But Microsoft seems to be about a decade behind the curve on this.

First of all, hotmail sux because IT SUCKS. It will continue to SUCK for as long as the SUN is still on fire.

Can you even look at that UI without wanting to throw up? I cant.

And thats why it sucks besides the fact that MS cant make ANYTHING right anymore.

Social networking in my email yeah that worked pretty good for buzz. WE ALL WANT THAT MAN!

Please your pathetic.
