I logged-in to my MSN Hotmail account this evening, only to discover that my mailbox size had increased from a meagre 25MB to a massive 1000MB. According to an Indian news website Business Standard:
Microsoft Corporation has upgraded the storage capacity of MSN Hotmail to 1 gigabyte (GB), even as it has extended its expiration period for inactive accounts to 60 days from the earlier 30 days.
This has long been over-due, going by the fact that rivals GMail (Google Mail) and Yahoo! Mail, increased their mailbox sizes, long ago.
Some years ago, I was very sick and away from Internet access for weeks at a stretch. By the time I logged-in to my Hotmail inbox again, all my important email had been deleted and replaced with junk email. The mailbox size at that time was a mere 2MB and the inbox was in red. Full and over-flowing with junk. I was thoroughly devastated.
Well, like they say: “It’s better late than never”. Though the Hotmail address is no longer my primary email address, I still use it to contact my close buddies in Nigeria.
I seldom use hotmails except MSN for chatting (private talking or business chatting ) but company email. while it’s good to know that the mailbox size has been increased greatly. thanks David.I will remind my friends for the good news. those who might use hotmails oftenly.
