Windows Live Hotmail™

Postby Andreas Dahl on Sat Sep 15, 2007 7:29 pm

Did anyone else get automatically "upgraded" to this?
And does anyone else think this is the work of Satan?

Basically, what I'm wondering is, how can I go back to the old style.. And/or, what do you use instead?

I don't think you can go back, it's officially Windows Live Hotmail now. I use Gmail, it is by far better and less annoying. The only negative is that you don't get pop-ups on MSN telling you how many emails are in your inbox and such.

Yahoo Mail, Gmail, hell even AOL Mail are way better services than Microsoft's Hotmail.
I only use my Hotmail account to login on MSN, and I don't think I'm the only one.

Same here.

Sorry Andreas, that's what you get for signing your soul to the devil.

Surprising, I signed up for a new hotmail account about a couple months ago, and I have the old interface and I'm currently using Windows Live Messenger. But all of my old accounts got upgraded to the new one. Definitely agree on the fact that the new interface is atrocious.

Yuck. I keep telling my mom to switch to Gmail, but she's set in her ways with Hotmail. Even after the "change," Hotmail is still a pain to simply add attachments.

I have four Gmail accounts, but I also have my hotmail (and have a daily and a weekly newsletter sent to it) that I check to keep it alive. One of my hotmails got punted when I ignored it, and since I use this one as my MSN login...(and use pidgin instead of MSN, so I don't know if Microsoft will count them as logins to keep it alive.)

Dahl, there is a "classic" view option. I get it by default because I use Opera and Microsoft thinks it's an old browser as it's not the inferior FireFox and IE7. I do not know where you would turn it on in the control panel as I have not bothered to look.
