Spam is right! (Reply to this comment)

Yeah, I use this email account just to communicate with my closest friends (with the MSN as well)... I go in, delete about a dozen useless pieces of spam, then all that's left are messages from people I want to hear from... good review! Steve

Well, I have had my hotmail account for over two years and I get only about three spams a day. When the bulk mail option became available I activated it and recieved about thirty a day in that file. I cancelled the activation and now everything is back to normal. See if turning off your bulk mail helps.

BTW; I have never had problems with forwarding, replying, or composing for multiple mailings. Not even once. I hit the "To" link and I check off all of the address that I want to send to and it works everytime for me.

Wonder Why? (Reply to this comment)

I found the same thing with a new HotMail account. My old one never received spam and the new one seems to attract every low life on the net. I had to cancel it when it became unwieldy. I wonder if it has to do with the sign up process. Items of interest are already checked for you when you go through the initial set of forms. I unchecked them but it does not seem to matter.

Anyhow, thanks for the aligned sentiments, it made me feel less alone in my distaste for this "free" service.

Solid review again, Adam. You know, I always like your approach to just tell about your experience.
This is exactly what Epinions needs.
BTW: did you consider the concrete idea in the lawn review for your area? ;-)))
Keep it up, I'll check back regularly, Jens
