    Of course i am :)

    Your first post was of no help to the OP other than to give it a try (which they posted that they had and didnt like it) and then proceeded to slate the public because they resist change :think:


    Anyway OP, to assist your original post......dont be so stubborn and give it a try! :rotfl:

    Hi
    The appearance of my hotmail has changed sometime this last week too.:(
    I'm not opposed to change, but I'm not impressed with the new layout.
    The service is free, so that's why I can't complain about it.
    I suppose it's up to me to vote with my feet and use a different email.:cool:
    Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

    No, it is because the majority of the British public are too bloody stubborn and set in their ways.

    I'm not "set in my ways" or "bloody stubborn". I just dislike the whole layout of the new hotmail tbh. I much prefer the old style or gmail, and before you say "well just use that then" - I can't as it's my uni email :(~

    Underneath it all, Hotmail is still the same rubbish it always was. In my experience, emails to Hotmail are still being dropped without notification and blatant spam is still making its way into the inbox and legit mail is being sent to Spam.

    I always tell people to either buy their own domain and use something like Google Applications to host their own email address or use a quality paid service like Fastmail, Runbox, etc. Failing that, GMail is king of free email services.

    How about this for a solution - the new Hotmail supports forwarding to any email address, so forward your Hotmail email to Gmail, and reply to all emails from Gmail.

    Ok, dear.

    Although the post was a month old. Thanks for your contribution to the discussion. Oh - wait, you didn't contribute, you just decided to chip in off-topic :)
