I guess the main point is the ever growing stream of attachments which are themselves growing bigger... Mailboxes are just overflowing more quickly now, and the best remedy is to enlarge the boxes, 'cause the traffic involved sending "box full" replies to other full boxes is getting out of hand.

I can't even remember how god awful long of a time I've had a hotmail account. It didn't have tons of space, but no free e-mail used to. The only other e-mail I've gotten and stuck with was amodman@theroms.zzn.com, and that was only becuase I made the zzn account to get an ebay account and others without giving out a credit card number, heh. I got gmail now too, but it will probably only be secondary as everything already goes to my hotmail.

After hotmail and before gmail I used excite (with bigfoot forwarding). Excite's got 125mb storage and a decent attachment size (10mb). Plus, an endlessly informative home page.

It's tough to convert to a mail only service right now (like gmail).
