Grrrrr, one thing I really hate about hotmail is that if you don't use your account within 30 days, wham, it is deleted, along with any contacts and all your important emails. Yet Gmail has a 9-month expiration date and that is not half as popular as hotmail, I really wonder what is going on.

Thankfully, the new Windows Live Mail has extended this limit to 120 days, three times more than previous, which is around a third of a year. Still I think it could be expanded even more just in case we do not have computer access for 3 months. Well then, if you are really worried go for a premium account. At the moment testers have no advertisements or no expiration date. Hopefully we will hear more great news from Windows Live Mail in the future.



On the topic of Windows Live Mail, I have three invites to give away. First three people to post their email address in the comments section will receive an invite. Your address much be @hotmail. Good luck!
