I posted recently about problems with hotmail.com. They seemed to have made lots of changes lately and I think that's why I had problems. Have to say I don't care for their latests changes, a confusing array of services that I don't use. Hotmail is my mail email and it would be time consuming for me to change over to another server.
I do have back up emails at yahoo and gmail. One thing I like about yahoo is that I can print out the whole email, not like hotmail where I get all the ads and stuff on the sides and very little of the email. So when I want to print out a hotmail email I forward it to my yahoo addy. May in Jersey
