    Re: Who's your email provider?

    Microsoft Live Mail is basically their replacement for Hotmail, right? Full of Ajax-y interface goodness? It's their answer to Gmail, I'd imagine, and if it's coupled well with Outlook/Outlook Express, I'm pretty sure they'll give Google a good fight.

    Since I posted last August, I've definitely fallen completely into the Gmail camp. I check it most often. I still have my "main" addresses on my own domain, for important correspondence, but most conversations now flow through the hungry maw of Google.

    I'm also happy that UH has so far let me hold onto my account there. Not counting a long-forgotten all-digits Compuserve account, it's my oldest e-mail inbox. It mostly overflows with spam until I remember to clear it out, but every so often an old contact will reach me there.

      Re: Who's your email provider?

      I wasn't sure if Microsoft Live Mail was a replacement for hotmail or just an alternative. Right now, they are giving us an option to sign up for Live Mail (as opposed to dead mail? ) not saying that we have to convert. I have a couple of gmail accounts but have always been wary of gmail since it admits that it scans email content for targeted ads. I know, not that I say anything that interesting anyhow and the other email providers probably do the same but aren't as up front about it, but still...

        I hadn't been aware of Live Mail till now. Apparently it's what used to be start.com, which was bought and then retooled by Microsoft.

          Here's a decent write up on the genesis of Windows Live Mail and its relationship to Hotmail. Hotmail users can stick with their addresses, but Microsoft is giving up on the Hotmail brand and new users are being pointed to Live.com (where free webmail is only a small part of the overall picture). That's where most of the development is being focused.

          I didn't even know about some of the improvements made to Hotmail in parallel with Windows Live Mail development. I guess making it look more like Outlook makes for a more consistent user experience, but for me that's not really a plus.

              To update my list, I use Hawaiian Telcom (atleast configured in outlook - their webmail stinks) and I primarily use gmail now, but I did sign up for another microsoft and msn email address.
              How'd I get so white and nerdy?

                Excuse me! I can't remember nor find my Password for my Gmail Account. If anyone can invite me to have another account, I would really appreciate it very much.

                I gotta start from scratch.
