Hotmail is one of the worst free email servers out there. Plus, they delete everything you have and deactivate your account if you don't log in for 30 days.

I stick with yahoo and gmail

Was/is xbox-live tied to hotmail normally then? I know I have G-mail tied to my Windows-live account, and my mate has HIS G-mail for xbox-live too.

Had my hotmail account for many, many years... Got a large filesize storage quota, and have had users send me MP3's (mostly bands doing promo spots for my weekly online radio show). Still got messages in my inbox from 8 and 9 years ago too (reminds me, I need to go weed those messages out!) Their mailing list and contacts settings are nice especially when I need to email a bunch of record labels at once to let them know what's going on... Yeah, I kinda dig hotmail... Service is slow at times, but very reliable. Has been that way for years... Did I say that already?
