Doesn't that sound a bit creepy to you?

GMail scans the contents of your e-mails for keywords so they can generate adverts. That's ok if it's nothing personal, but I've had personal (of a medical nature) e-mails scanned by Google. I think that's a bit too intrusive by far.

7.5GB - I've been using GMail since December 2005, and am now at 93%, going to go onto a paid plan soon I fear - but people keep sending me huge files, and the ability to search is so so useful

Just a question, is there a way on Hotmail where you can tell if someone has actually read the email you have sent them.

I've used didtheyreadit.com ages ago. They had a free trial on at the time.

Oh, btw hotmail works for me. It worked in the afternoon when I checked as well. x

Glad it's not just me - not been able to do anything with my Hotmail since the weekend, even though it lets me log in:(

Have started the somewhat mammoth task of switching every thing to my gmail account - I have noticed problems sending/receiving mail through Hotmail for a while now but this is the last straw:mad:

You could also try Opera Mail (from the Opera browser people). Various plans, starts out free.

Maybe unrelated but I was having problems with hotmail when trying to use it with IE8 and Windows 7 operating system for some reason. I tried accessing it using Chrome and its fine. Worth a try?
