Aaron_ Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 I have found this website:http://test.msn.ignia.com/minisites/hotmai...px?locale=en-enFirst I thought that it was some kind of spam because it doesn't have any msn logo, but the domain http://test.msn.ignia.com redirects you to http://messenger.msn.com so now I don't know what to think.

No!Inbox.com: + Adless (could be adblock tho) + Okay interface - nothing special30gigs: + 30 gigs, call it unlimited - Interface ain't that good - SlowSo, I call:1. Gmail2. 30gigs3. Inbox.com4. Yahoo! (new+old)5. Hotmail (new+old)although I'm only satisfied about the first. The interface just rocks.edit= "Kahuna? That's some tasty burger." Edited October 11, 2005 by Nanaki
Zxian Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Depends really.Gmail: + unlimited space (in the rare case your inbox is full, wait a few days) + Great POP3 access + Best interface of all (cleanest) + Lightning fast - Some attachments aren't accepted - Can't apply filters on already received e-mail - Very rarely doesn't group conversations as they should It's so simple and it just works! Now... if they only had IMAP interface instead of POP3... that would be the ultimate e-mail solution!Hotmail: + Easy integration with Outlook (Thunderbird only supports INBOX, no other folders). + Easy import of Outlook contacts - MSN Messenger integration - Bad e-mail client support - Bad browser support (no tabs) - Very bad and slow javascript - Slow alltogether - In-your-face ads - Other bloat - Catches too much "spam"Only if you pay!!! AFAIK, you cannot use Hotmail with Outlook if you don't have the paid for account with MSN. I just tried this weekend with my girlfriend's computer and the Hotmail server gave us the message that you require a subscription.
