Farking Hotmail
Discussion
I've been waiting for an email to get to my hotmail account that I know was sent hours ago. This has happened a few times before, and I've noticed that when the emails do eventually turn up (sometimes days later), the date will match when the email was sent rather than received.
WHY?!?!?!
What makes some emails appear instantly, and others go for a bit of a wander?

Been with hotmail years. Never had a problem, ever.
As have I, but I've changed over my personal stuff to gmail and leave Hotmail for shopping/shipping, internet registrations etc. Gmail is handy with the Google talk too.
Gmail also integrates with Outlook so you still have MSN Messenger handy.
It's gotten hard to find free Email that will integrate with Outlook.

they're also building IM functionality into gmail, but unlike msn it's web-based which means it will work anywhere with an internet connection - no software to download and install.
MSN Messenger can be used on the web:

Hotmail = Chavmail 
It is slow, unreliable, generaly looked on as the 'freeloader' of email accounts, it doesn't do mail-forwarding, has tiny storage space, cannot send over 10meg attachments, is blocked by virtually every company in the world, and has had more major security attacks than any other pop-mail, because its a hated Microsoft product.
Plenty of better free ones, Gmail being the current leader. Whether we like it or not it looks like the WWW will be run and owned by Google in the not so distant future.
The future is arriving at great speed. Hotmail was the 1980's. Google-mail is the choice of the new millenium. In ten years time maybe Hotmail will be number one again, thats if we havent had PC's implanted in our heads by then

Funny, I've NEVER had problems being banned for having an Hotmail acocunt!
I'm with MSN, which is effectively hotmail and have the same delays.
I got a google-mail account a month back or so, but @googlemail.com doesnt have the same memorable ring to it that @gmail does so I dont use it, plus the fag of changing email addresses just doesnt make it worthwhile.
