It is slow, but I haven't noticed a lack of features and space. Yeah, it is realy easy to get into someones hotmail account. Hopefully Microsoft will remove the revert page in the update.

It's a mess, too confusing and far too many adverts. Very slow and insecure.

The main thing for me is spam, the spam filters are atrocious to say the least and because hotmail is so big, spam bots are continually guessing email addresses so it takes no time at all for one to track you even if you've never gave the email out.

Gmail solved all these problems years ago, another good thing about gmail is POP3 and IMAP/SMTP Access so you can access it through a mail application of your choice or on your mobile etc.

Our schhol has SIMS that allows / disallows email at certain times when the teacher askes for it.

I don't use hotmail site itself, but I use my hotmail account using Outlook, that's because it's quicker for me really.

Dunno whether school will block it because people use it for homework/schoolwork etc.

Exactly my own opinions. I love being able to have all my mail accounts accessed through Mail.app, and it bugs me to no end that I can't access any Hotmail ones unless I log in to Hotmail's webmail service.

Oh, and don't get me started on the adverts in the signatures...

i use the application not the online version

and i agree its far to messy :P x

I only use hotmail for MSN. I switched to hotmail about a month ago to gmail, and now to mobileme. I think Microsoft killed themselves on this one, they don't allow people to automatically forward email to a non @hotmail.com email. Apple isn't helping either without integrating MSN with their Mail app and iPhone and iPod Touch. :P

Its a mess and is confusing? Let me see you do anything better, IMO I like Hotmail.

One Advert at the top of the page... :rolleyes:

Spam, meh, I like to filter my own out TBH.

Insecure? Let me see you fight against millions of users. Personally, I have only been "hacked" once, through my own stupidity as a fricken noob when I was 7. But low and behold, I got the account back and everything is fine, I learnt from that experiance.

It is insecure tbh, all you need is for the person you want to hack to send you an email, and you have to know theier date of birth, pretty easy stuff to do.

But yeah, I like hotmail :) I don't think its that bad tbh.
