Newbie?
> Why on earth does anyone use Hotmail? Having a Hotmail account is a newbie's mistake, you're only one step up the social ladder from an AOL user.
I object to the implications by several here that using a Hotmail account is symptomatic of dunderheaded newbieness.
I have been using the same hotmail account since 1994, and like others have said, I know what to expect from it, and get what I pay for.
In fact it's only recently that I've been irritated by the fact that it has been refusing emails from my so-called legitimate provided-by-the-French-government laposte.fr account because they don't seem to have any control over their mail servers, and it has appeared on some draconian blacklist somewhere.
Like Melinda I'm extremely irritated by someone else deciding which email I should or should not receive; I'm quite capable of filtering it in my client.
