MSN Announces Comprehensive Worldwide Upgrade to MSN Hotmail

Enhancements to the World's Most Popular Free Web E-Mail Service to Deliver on Key Customer Needs by Boosting E-Mail Protection and Increasing Storage

REDMOND, Wash., June 24, 2004 - MSN® Hotmail®, the world's most popular free Web-based e-mail service, will undergo a major upgrade, delivering customers world-class e-mail protection as well as enhanced storage to satisfy all their needs. Starting in early July, MSN will roll out free e-mail anti-virus protection to all the 170 million MSN Hotmail customers worldwide, making MSN Hotmail the only free global e-mail service to both scan and clean incoming and outgoing e-mail for viruses and worms before they can enter a customer's inbox. MSN also announced it will bring increased storage - 250MB inboxes - to free MSN Hotmail customers in multiple markets and will introduce MSN Hotmail Plus, an upgraded premium Web service to help customers get the most out of MSN Hotmail.

"We know from talking with our customers that online safety is their No. 1 concern," said Blake Irving, corporate vice president of Communication Services and Member Platform for MSN. "MSN is intensely focused on providing a safer and more robust communications experience for consumers. Providing free anti-virus cleaning helps protect our Hotmail customers while guarding members of the overall Hotmail community and the friends and family they e-mail."

Later this summer, MSN will begin increasing storage limits for free MSN Hotmail accounts in multiple markets around the world. Customers will receive 125 times their current e mail storage with the introduction of 250MB inboxes and have the ability to send attachments up to 10 MB. Upon upgrade, MSN Hotmail customers will also receive MSN Calendar free, enabling both individual and shared calendaring.

i dont know exactly how u get them but close to the bottom left of page it will say in reds letters how many invites u have. i think it just accumulates over time im not sure.

250 mbs is great

1 gb is better but who the heck uses that much space?

I won't even get close to using 250 mbs!

spunsugar · #23 (**permalink**) Oct 15, 04

weee I was so happy to see I didn't have to worry about all that spam clogging up and blocking some of my real emails coming in. I have a gmail, (still 4 invites people!) but I still use my old hotmail account too.

KandyKid · #24 (**permalink**) Oct 15, 04

Gmail is better than Hotmail, I have em both, but I still prefer Hotmail just cause I've been using it forever.
