    Is this MSN's answer to gmails new 1gb inbox?

    I just noticed this morning that my hotmail inbox is now allowed 250MB instead of 2MB!!

    I'll never clean up my hotmail inbox now!! :eek:

    I'm still only at 2MB.

    It's been ages since they first announced that they were going to increase the limit.

    I hope they roll this out to all the other members soon too.

    I heard oldest first, then that they do the most active accounts first. I've had my account since oh around '94-'95 or so. Pre-Microsoft days. My account gets checked four times a week, and one of those four timees, I might send an email. Mine was updated last week to 250, and they've been doing it for a looong time already.

    Last time I tried logging in through Mozilla on my Linux box it wouldn't let me - so I gave up.

    My fiancee uses hotmail ALL the time and she is still only on 2MB.

    It might go by area you live in because my mate and me both got it updated on the same day. Who knows how they work it out. :confused:

    Possibly. I've had my hotmail account for about 5-6 years now.

    That'd kill my theory. If that were true I'd get more space in 2008 ;)
