outlook.com

Still comes up with account doesn't exist.

Going to sign up to gmail.

just sign up to Gmail.

Been using Gmail since it was launched in 2004 and can't fault it.

Never deleted anything and still only at 29% of my storage allowance.
(currently around 75,000 emails)

mines was playing up today - i thought it was just cause i signed in from nigeria .....

Signed up to gmail. Couldn't get the name that I wanted and had to compromise, it was much easier to get what you wanted 22 years ago 🙂

Story of my life.

On a point of note,

If you login to your Hotmail account on outlook.com, it stays 'upgraded' when you subsequently log back in to Hotmail.

I was reading an article about the change from hotmail to outlook a couple of weeks ago. The article said "for more information see the outlook.com site", so I clicked on it, and next thing I knew my hotmail had converted to outlook, and I had to choose another name 🙁

(The good thing was that when I chose my hotmail name I used a "_", which is a pain to type on a mobile phone screen. Now I was able to choose an easier name.)

They kill your account if you don't log in for 30 days or so.

Outlook dies if you dont access it for 3 months, which is better than snotmail by a mile.

Fastmail. Superb. Free or paid for service, no ad's on the interface. I pay the princely sum of $5 for 3 years.

EDIT - You can turn Outlook back to Hotmail, click on the options and squirrel around, you'll find the link.

Had the paid service so I only had to log in once a but that expired 2 weeks ago.
Doesn't really matter now as I'be gone to gmail.

Thanks for the replies though.
