How many Hotmail accounts have you? - Page 2

jedilizagain · 29 Nov 2001, 08:24 AM

I have/had two. I got too much *SPAM*

.
Waited the 90 days for them to be cancelled or whatever it was. Hopefully they are now deleted permanently.

2 MB of space is pathetic and they didn't ever have enough filters and I am sure they SOLD your email address. Some people have said in the past that they signed up for an account, didn't give it out to anyone, and ended up with SPAM!!!

I don't like Hotmail.

A different poll should be 'how many yahoo accounts
do you have'?

I think I have had 1 over the years. Many years back....

I dont have ANY now.... I email 2 people though regurally with hotmail accounts....

I picked 1 on the poll

I have four.

I have two...but i hardly never use them. My mail hotmail i signed up with back in 2000 when i got internet. I sign in maybe like 3 times a year to keep the account alive.

For daily email i prefer Yandex,Gmail or mail.ru...so much better to use.

Dutchie.

I used to have a mail.ru account but it was in russian so I didnt use it much.....

I could navigate thru OK and check my messages but didnt ever use it.....

I remember having a hotmail.ru account also........ (That was english)

I have one Hotmail account since 1998 or 1999.
Since about 20 years ago it became unusable due the amount of spam (that's the time when I learned the hard way that "unsubscribe" really means "subscribe me to more of this).
I still have that Hotmail account polled regularly from Fastmail, and it gets very little spam nowadays. I get more spam from my Gmail account that forwards to Fastmail (also not much: most of the unwanted mail on both services is when people sign up to some services using my Gmail or Hotmail addresses on sites that don't verify the address like Twitter or Alibaba).

If I added up all the Hotmails I've had, well over a dozen. When I began, they were easy to sign up and required nothing from you.- not a cell, not a previous email. I used them for a bunch of dedicated accounts. Of the "majors," I like Hotmail the best, better than Yahoo, Gmail, or anything else.

However, I lost track of many and they expired, so now maybe a half-dozen ongoing ones.

I am down to 2 accounts. I just closed a hardly used account on Jan 9, MS says it will be final on March 10. They said they we are sad to see me go. Eventually I will be down to one.

I have one, although not using the @hotmail.com extention. But I assume all domains are fine for this poll as long as the service is operated by Microsoft.
