Wow, your first email address with Hotmail. You think that only your friends will be able to email you. You don't give your NEW Hotmail address to ANYONE other than your friends. Everything is running smooth until the day you get that first unexplained email. Then you see your first nude female, then you see for the first time a picture of oral sex. Then you notice that all the 'from' email addresses are from people like [email protected]. You wonder how this can be?
The answer is simple. Hotmail sells your email address. It is the only way to explain how a 13 year old in the late 1990's could be approved for a new car loan, a credit card, and a home loan.
The next time you get a spam email. Write the company that is giving you the car loan, the credit card, and the home loan. They will tell you one thing. That they bought the email address from the Microsoft Corperation. (That is the company that ownes Hotmail.)
Forget about support. I have sent them over 10 emails asking why my account had been deactivated. After a month, they just simply said that my account had too many 'blocked senders' on my list. During the time I was locked out of my account, the email kept rolling in like hotcakes.instead of stopping the emails when my account got full, they decided to bill me 1 dollar per megabite that my account was over it's quota.
If you type in @hotmail.com, it is never added to the blocked list, as is the case for:
bigfoot.net;
pr2.cc. 102.com;
msn.com;
microsoft.com; and
passport.com.
There is no such thing as a free email address with hotmail. They only give you 2MB's of space. For some people that is fine, but others get twice that a day in Spam.By the time you add all your costs while checking you hotmail, it is not free. There are better free email companys out there. Just be shure to do your homework before you signup.
