Microsoft Increases Windows Live Hotmail Storage

Microsoft will be increasing the amount of storage for Windows Live Hotmail as well as enhancing some of its existing features. Free Hotmail users will see their accounts upgraded from 2 to 4 GB of storage. Users of the paid version of Hotmail will have their 5 GB account upgraded to 10 GB.

Some of the enhancements to the service include extending the time that messages are left in the junk and delete folders, an option for deleting duplicate contacts, and making it easier to view embedded links and images in email messages.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Google matches the storage upgrade in the near future. How many of you use Windows Live Hotmail?

High five to Paul McDougall.

Had a couple of accounts like 5-7 years ago, but they were overrun by spam. Never again!

i pretty much switched all my main emailing activities over to my Gmail a/c. These new features are too late for me and for now my Live mail account is stuck as a secondary a/c

It was about time. Too bad I don’t use their service as much as Gmail

Their spam prevention is good now. But I’m still having 2GB.

I was going to say who uses Hotmail anymore. But, I see our friend Nirmal does.

@Nirmal: Gmail Rocks. (pun intended)
