I see Hotmail has upgraded my account to 250MB… Gee-thanks… But I’m afraid it’s too late, I already use G-mail as my main internet account. Hotmail is now a just a passport sign-in and junk mail repository. For me to switch back, Hotmail will have to become a lot better than G-mail. Here’s some hints:

• Hotmail is too slow
• It’s got too many graphics
• The search sucks
• No POP support
• No permanent tray notification for e-mails (you have to click on the Messenger guy)
• G-mail has auto-complete in the to: cc: lists
• It’s file attachment is faster
• The spell checking is easier to use (although no custom dictionary yet)
• Labels are a more natural and powerful mechanism than Hotmail folders
• G-mail filters are excellent
• I can drive G-mail from the keyboard

Let me know when it’s fixed and I’ll have a look.
