Changes to your MSN® Hotmail® account

 

As you probably know, your MSN Hotmail account is changing for the better.

 

From this autumn, all free Hotmail accounts will have a 250MB inbox, as well as the ability to send and receive attachments of up to 10MB. With MSN Calendar, you'll also be able to manage your time more efficiently by sharing your calendar with others. You'll also get twice the amount of spam protection with the ability to block up to 500 specific e-mail addresses or entire domains.

 

Your Hotmail account is already the only free global e-mail service that both scans and cleans incoming and outgoing e-mail for viruses and worms. Plus, Microsoft Smartscreen technology gives you a choice between 3 spam filtering levels, including our exclusive spam-free inbox. Hotmail also allows you to express yourself with rich text editing, custom signatures, photo e-mail and more!

Can I ask

 

WHY?

 

It really isn't something special, for christ sake its an e-mail blum.gif

 

Most of you won't even use it after the first week - There are e-mail services out there that are actually better than Gmail, but an email is an email.

 

Strangly enough, no matter how much AOL does suck its E-mail is scarily quite good, I use it alot for picking up forum threads.

and

 

Gmail sucks

 

Anyway... invitation send

The reason Mav is I need the GB storage for the next few weeks lol

 

I need to transfer some big files across from home comp to school and visa versa.

 

The fact my school doesn't have CD drives means I need another way and Gmail is it until Hotmail gets big MB upgrade.

 

AOL can only transfer max of 10mb

 

My other accounts can noly send max if 2Mb

Setup an ftp server at your computer at home.. Remember the ip or tie a dynamic domain to it and then you can transfer as much as you like.. every day blum.gif

1) Disable your firewall or open up port 21 on it

2) Download ftp server software

3) Install it at your home computer

4) Create an account with username and password on it and make it have write access to a directory on your computer

5) Goto www.whatismyip.com and remember your ip (write it down)

6) Leave your computer on

7) Goto school

dirol.gif On your school type 'ftp://' (type your writtened down ip number instead of )

9) Enter your username / password (if you can't, goto menu File / Login As...)

10) Copy / paste any files you like.

11) The files get uploaded directly to your computer at home

 

It's not that hard blum.gif

Ah, just asked my teacher about the whole FTP thing and its a no go it seems.

 

He has asked a few times over the years but the ICT head department has said no incase someone tries and uploads games, viruses, etc.

 

So basically it seems I will have to get a 246mb USB memory stick thingy instead of this FTP thing.

 

-*BAD WORD*- school and its worries. As if I would upload games, music, a chat feature and possibly viruses when I leave onto the school computers ¬¬''
