Myst67 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 this is meant for those who did not realize that hotmail accounts were upgraded yes, some hotmail accounts were upgraded, but sadly not for all...I've tried this and it worked... my inbox is now 250 MB THIS WAY YOU CAN INCREASE YOUR SIZE OF THE HOTMAIL ACCOUNT 1. Login ur hotmail account and go to options. 2. Go to "Personal" 3. Click "My Profile" 4. Change Country to "United States" 5. Wait for browser to load United States settings. 6. Change the state to any American States. For example "Florida", and zip code to "33332". 7. Click "update". 8. Click "Continue". 9. Go to "Language" and make sure it is "English". 10. Paste this link in the same browser. http://by17fd.bay17.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/Accountclose 11. Wait until the Screen says you're Hotmail is Closed and ready to be deleted. 12. Click "Close Account". 13. Go back to login page and re-login to your hotmail account..!! 14. Your account size will now increase to 25 MB, which a month later becomes 250 MB!!

babyoiy Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Cool...gonna try this one also Before I tried it to change the country and zip code, but that only doesn't work, I hope now with this link I'm wondering why Microsoft doesn't give it to everybody with doing nothing, just like Yahoo does...and they will upgrade to 1 GB in April!! I love yahoo.. woohoo' lolz I even moved to UK and then US.. hehehe.. but still got 2mb storage till now.. lol so will try later after Pascal back to tell us that its work and tell me that Im not gonna lost any message in my inbox. OK pascal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beamer Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 yeap, worked for me too and I also didn't lose any existing messages. One thing people may want to consider is using an alternative zip code just in case this turns into some chain mail and hotmail suddenly get an unusually high amount of subscriptions from Florida ;-) You can use this link find the zip code of any city in the USA http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citytown_zip.jsp One other small point, just expect a couple of extra steps the first time you log back into your account (step 13), namely: Click on Activate when prompted Then click on Agree to the terms and conditions Then click on Continue at the newsletters page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khun_lung Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Hotmail sucks! I use it for MSN chat only, but I get so much fcuking spam that my 2mb is always a problem. I'll do it! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khun-Lung it depends how u put ur settings and anti-spam. I don't get that much, because my inbox is 'only for friends'. If I have to use an mailadd to get in a site or a forum (like TF, lol) than I use a mailadd of Yahoo (I hv 2 Yahoo-accounts) that I use like a bin, rhey can put all their rubbish in there . It's also a good thing to have a spam- and adware- and spyware-blocker and to let it run from time to time. c u in a week in BKK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khun_lung Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Okay, I did it. It works! Now I wonder what would happen if I change my settings back to bkk residence. Is it gonna go back to 2 mb again??? Well, for now I'm not gonna try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khun_lung Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I followed the advice to get hotmail from 2mb to 25mb and it worked! Now that I have that, it's all I need because I use hotmail only for chat and not for mail. But the hotmail junk mail filter is a joke and my 2mb account was always going to the limit with junk mail. Not anymore, and 25mb is all I need. Yahoo is far superior, BUT still doesn't support Thai fonts and that's a major drawback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggo Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Yahoo mail has a 1GB mailbox limit now, Yahoo Messenger is Always online, unlike M$ Messenger. Much better than hotmail, how much spam do you want today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun_Sam Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 No one uses gmail around here? You get 2 GB of storage. It's the best free mail service around. You can forward mail, have POP access via your mail client, and many more features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
