There Will Be No Hotmail Anymore !

midnitesun
yes !! microsoft has developed and now realeased a software thats called windows live mail which is going to replace hotmail .This in beta and availabe only to people through invitations . It comes with a brand new look and have 2GB storage ,some features include anti-phishing which warns users when some one's trying to phish for their personal information and wipe them off the face of the earth ! .also gives you previews of messages without you having to leave inbox ,drag and drop organization , one click control over junk and scam e-mails also haves right click power ! it's really cool biggrin.gif

well its more like old news since alot of people know about it but the question would be would msn live convert the hotmail accounts or would everyone have to make a new account.

Highly doubt it though but maybe a redirection would be inline for the accounts.

Replace HOTMAIL ?? impossible.

Microsoft had to shell out $400 Million USD's to aquire this company and it simply does not make any sense. Everyone will have an option to just use hotmail account with LIVE services.

well, even if they could...it would be way better than hotmail! cuz personally i think hotmail is the most outdated e-mail there is... and before hotmail i thought netscape mail was..but they have updated A TON recently and so they have gone up my ladder...well i hope this microsoft mail does replace "hotmail" because it would be better :-D

May I correct you? I know someone who has Live mail. It is nothing more than an extension of hotmail. Added on to make it look a little different. It won't replace it, just make it look different. But yes, it is cool. I got to look it all over. It is like gmail, but more classy. And of course, takes a little longer to load. But not by much. It will make for some nice competition for google.

Yes, I agree with u Vild20. It`s the same with gmail, but maybe the gmail is much better, cause it have every minute much more storage, and...maybe the Google products are betters thean Microsoft. But I can`t belive it, hotmail will stop, cause in this case million people will have to change his/her email adress..

i really dont believe Hotmail is disapearing, i guess they're gonna modify every little thing into the service and that's it.

think of how many people would have to change their address or even worse, their MSN identity email...

Cheers!!! rolleyes.gif

I think the whole inviting by invitation is too gmail-like now. Even though Gmail probably didn't invent it. Anyway... I don't really like hotmail as an email account sad.gif But that new Hotmail thing sounds good! If anyone has invitations you know where to send em wink.gif Does anyone have any screen shots of what it looks like?

Hotmail might be REPLACED and overwritten, but not disappeared I think.

Windows Live Mail is currently available through request. I have sent in a few requests and have not gotten a response.

Windows Live Messenger is a lot worse than MSN Messenger 7.5. It has many unnecessary features as well as hiding the number of online contacts.

Trillian is okay. It has enough features for my messenger.

Yahoo! Mail BETA is awesome, it acts like Mozilla Thunderbird. Yes, it is trying to compete with GMail. But the main advantage is GMail is available through Cell Phone or invitation only basis.

ShinyFeet email is not that popular. Its storage space is little.

Anyways, hope I receive the invite soon.

Its not as if Hotmail is going to disappear completely, it's hotmail under a different guise. I didnt get Windows Live through a invite, there was already a popup on one of my two hotmail accounts saying upgrade to Windows Live mail.

I maybe dont use hotmail that much, but I use one of their accounts for MSN messenger/Trillian reasons. Getting back to the Windows Live interface Out of the interface, it's okay so far but it could do with some work. I think ill stick to gmail for emails.

The layout of it seems somewhat, erm..., crowded. Plus, one of the best things about Gmail's layout is the fact that its ads are text base only. Nothing pops out at you nor distracts you while you are trying to concentrate on important things.

I think Gmail's auto draft-saving feature is amazingly helpful. I wonder if this new hotmail/windows live mail has that?

I saw a screenshot of it on someones website and the layout wasn't really appleasing to my eyes. Not eye candy, neither is Gmail but it looks better. lol.

I have to to play with the functionality of hotmail and tell if if I really like it or not. But as for appearance its okay. For the basic function of checking email its good. Any other features that it has that gmail doesn't have??/

I wouldn't say that there will be no hotmail since this is hotmail under a different name. You still have an @hotmail.com e-mail address. In my opinion I don't think that the windows live mail is any better than gmail and it seems a little too plain to me.

    I'm using GMail since June 2005. I love the sleek interface with no graphics and also the ease

    have a Hotmail Account, eventhough I use Gmail I love Hotmail. The best part of Hotmail is that its
    spam filters are more strong than that of GMail. I receive an average of 50 spam mails each day,
    some even skip the spam filter and is displayed in Inbox instead of moviing it to spam folder.
    Whereas in Hotmail I seldom get any spam. The inteface is also so good and easy an now t....

    mindbogglingly unintuitive but it now actually fails to send emails! Now, is it just me or is
    the main purpose of an email account to send email ??? What makes this even worse is that Microsoft
    has continually denied that there is a problem, even though thousands of people have told them. I

  19. Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail Or Gmail?

    not such useful and too much to simple user like me. Also with a Yahoo registed account, you can
    enjoy other different kinds of service, for example, free web photo account and free geocities
    account. With such great variety source of services, I would choose Yahoo! Mail, but one thing
