Title: Hotmail
Post by: Roanoke on February 07, 2008, 02:12:36 pm

Trying to log-in and MSN seems more interested in signing me up for a "Windows Live Account" with no apparant option to skip the sign-up process. Anybody else seen this and found a way to liberate their account from the MSN ?

FFS all I want to do is check my bloody emails.   :rolleyes:

Well, did you actually know ICQ, MSN and all these guys can scan and save everything you are transferring over their servers?
No more cybering, folks. The employees might jerk off with it :shaking:

Solution: Get back to good, old IRC. Nothing beats the nostalgica feeling when I'm using it. Especially with a green-text-on-black-background skin :yes:

Greets!!!

There...hot****mail decided to eliminate all of my mails, after a lengthy hotmail.com and service downtime, of course.

Well, just one more reason to ditch it, glad I still have gmail... :p
The only reason I kept it, was the messenger, wonder if you can login with the gmail-account?

Anyone else unfortunate enough to have their mailbox wiped?
On the second thought, they do have backups...do they?  :nervous:

They should. But it's not long ago when there was a news article about some Yankee company that managed to evaporate the emails of 14,000 customers.
