Hotmail new look

moe.ron · #1 07-20-2001, 10:31 AM

I just check my hotmail for the first time in a long time. it seem they have a new look. Looks cool, but I miss the no nonsense old hotmail look. What do you guys think?

Hey arya, do you always get a lot of junkmail in your hotmail account? I hardly ever check mine but when I do, there are hundreds of e-mails. I just leave them on there, no sense of wasting time deleting them.

They [microcrap] changed the look a couple of days ago. I absolutely hate that they redirect you to MSN.com after you log out. :P

I hate the new hotmail look. I like the old one much better. I is so much harder to read.

Well im stuck with dial-up and the new layout seems to be loading faster for me so I really have nothing to complain about.

I don't really like the new layout. I mean, it looks cool, but I liked it when it was simple.

I think it's fine...but if it were up to me,

I would have stuck with the first layout. However, they have more interesting links in the second layout.

ExGreek, I got TONS of junk mail at my old account. I never check it anymore, but the junk mail multiplied so much, that I have something like 755 new mails - almost all of which are junk. I got 2 new accounts at hotmail, and I don't have any junk mail anymore...I think it's just a matter of giving out your address when subscribing to something, which will just give your addie to junk-mail-ppl. That's why when something asks for my email addie, I always give the email address which I don't use for personal use.

hotmail sucks!! i don't like the new layout--too colorful for a computer screen and my eyes. too much junk mail!!! i' m not interested in "doubling the size of my penis!" (for obvious reasons, of course

), and all that other junk i get

How to screen out junk mail? - You can go to OPTIONS and set it to EXCLUSIVE.

You will ONLY get email from those who are in your Address Book!
The rest will go to the Junk Mail Folder!

It's terrific..I have not had junk mail in days now!!

I hate it. I sent out about 4 emails yesterday and the body text didnt go with them. One was to cutiepie2000. So today I had 4 emails from my friends saying I got that you sent me an email, but there was nothing in it. UGH! HM better not be giving me no smack today.

sorry cutie, it's a LIE. Don't ask me how but somehow those filters fail. Like Newbie I also had another hotmail account. I only check it now to laugh at the comparison between the mail that ends up in my 'junk mail' folder and the number of messages that manages to squeeze through the filters and into my in box. It's about 3 to 1 in favour of the junk mail folder, but I still get an average of about 50 in my in box and 175(ish) in my junk mail. It's insane. Hotmail sells their user's addresses. Peeves me right off

.

My newer hotmail address isn't too bad. I'll get maybe 10 spam messages a week. Not bad at all compared to my other hotmail. And, for the record, I have NEVER gotten spam in my yahoo account.

I haven't decided if I like the new lay out. I do like the Blue better than the old yellow. It's a bit too busy for my taste tho.

I'm not liking the new hotmail one bit. I liked the way that it would come up with different pages if you had mail or not. I also hate the way I can't log into a different account after signing out of one.

Grrr

I agree with gphi2k.

I could take it or leave it. I like the light blue color. One of my fraternity colors is a delicate shade of blue actually

The junk mail definitely hasnt changed either. I think thats just a part of hotmail and the way their site operates.

Hey All,
Yea I don't like the new hotmail look . It's a lot more to look at , and it's harder to find previous stuff. Some stuff is more convientient though. Like having yout quick list right on the side. But other then that I don't like it

It's HORRIBLE!! Makes me dizzy to look at it. Too much crap on the screen.
