I HATE Outlook Express and Hotmail!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hyphenate]

Those bastards are taking our ability to look at our hotmail accounts from outlook express--they're making it a "premium" benefit. And to make things even worse, my friggin OE has been messing up over and over and over again, and I have reinstalled that piece of crap three times in the past two weeks already!! I'm switching PERMANENTLY to my Gmail account, and I'm going to access it through Incredimail. These bastards don't think we have alternatives--we'll SEE how popular hotmail remains when we can't use OE to access it.

It's bad enough that excite, yahoo, and other web-based emails are pretty much doing the same damned thing, and it is a bitch for me with all the font groups I belong to. There are sometimes 200 (or more) attachments per DAY in the groups I belong to, and the only way I found I could keep up was with a large online account like Hotmail in OE, where I could use a program to simply download the attachments in bulk. Taking that ability away from me makes trying to keep up next to impossible.

I wouldn't mind paying a small fee per year, but I would rather that fee go to Excite, for example, than to Hotmail. But it's WAR now--those of us with hotmail accounts that we've used for years--one of my hotmail accounts is now 8 years old--should have been given latitude in this decision. Hotmail sucks.
