[Gameinformer313]

This is very weird, when i first started off with a hotmail account a long while back, i only had 1mb, but over the last past 2 weeks or so ive recently had 2000MB, its very werid but at the same time good. Has anyone else experinced a big upgrade in there MSN or Hotmail MB Area ??!

Mine looks just like this, i wouldve posted the page but i dont know how too take a snapshot at it or copy it or anything.

0% of 2000MB

Hmm, most likely its just a bug, i had something like that happen where it was over 2000mb but than i restarted my computer and it was gone. but ur's and sakuras lasted over 2 weeks, thats a long bug, u guys really just might have 2000mb for watever reason, all i can say is u guys are lucky

I still have 2Mb as well, but I got a mail from Hotmail saying that there was going to be an upgrade for all users both in mail storage (up to 250mb) and maximum size of attachements(up to 10Mb).
I got the mail in spanish so no use posting a quote from it ^^

nope isn't a bug
read about it a few weeks ago on a dutch news site 06-24-04
( dutch ppl click here for the article )

summed up it's about not wanting to be behind competition
so they increased it

free = 250 MB
payed = 2 gig
but I have no clue why you guys get 2000MB instead of 250, so that might be a bug
but the increased storage space is planned

Yes, it's bugged. If you sign up with

GO to Start menu --> All Programs --> then click on the MSN Explorer (YOU MUST SIGN UP for a @msn.com e-mail from the MSN Explorer e-mail whether you like it or not)

Then follow the instructions to create a new account (click on I already have Internet Access )
It will proceed to ask you questions about password / secret question / demographics and once you create your username & passowrd, click on the Mail (within msn explorer NOT INTERNET EXPLORER) icon and on the left it will display 0% of 2000MB

http for outlook

*Log's onto hotmail* Nope, still 2mb

 

[Big Kyle]

well I have 2 GB cause I pay for it the fair way, same with my own domain. So either your gunna be billed for it, or it will go away cause its most likly a bug.

Nope, I read this article a while back. It's not a bug, Hotmail is increasing it's inbox size to combat G-Mail and Yahoo's increase. I had heard this a while back, maybe it's finally starting, or it could be a bug on your side.

*EDIT* I apologize, it looks like a bug on your side. The upgrade will be 250, not 200. Here's an article I found off a website through Google.

The Hotmail changes are impressive, especially when you consider that they'll affect more than 170 million Hotmail users. Starting sometime this summer, all Hotmail customers--both free and paid--will receive free email antivirus-scanning capabilities. Nonpaid Hotmail customers' email storage space will grow to 250MB, whereas Microsoft will begin offering a Hotmail Plus service for $19.95 a year that provides a whopping 2GB of email storage. Previously, the free Hotmail service provided just 10MB of email storage, although customers could pay $29.95 a year for 25MB of email storage.

*edit2* Meh, the anti-depressant beat me to it, looks like I need some sleep.
