I must say that Gmail is one of the most useful tool online that I most probably could not live without. Previously Hotmail have been such a hit but even I did not use them back then. The reason is because my hotmail is Spam and Spammed everyday. If you know the history, Hotmail is not started by Microsoft and it survive pretty much be selling the contacts away. Which is why my email is always in the spam list.
Even until today, Hotmail spam filters can’t do anything to prevent this spammers. Only if I were to register a new account with a different username. Take a look at my hotmail from July 26th up until today (Oct 31st). I have a total of 139 emails and only 17 is filtered as junk. But the fact is that all of it is junk. I do not use this email neither read any of the emails.
Sad to say that I had 1GB in my hotmail but gmail is providing me 4.5GB already. Microsoft is really lagging in the Spam protection and the space (eventhough 1GB is already abundance).
New register hotmail does not have this problem, this only happen to those who register their hotmail account before Microsoft bought them over.
I never liked hotmail ever since beginning. I find the interface quite annoying and not user friendly
I have never used gMail. But I like the new hotmail. It is way better than the old one.
yes..the interface had change..but Spam filter is not doing any good.
