Damn you, Notmail

Hello,

Thank you for writing to MSN Hotmail.

This is Rommel and I am writing in response to your inquiry on your dilemma. I understand how important it is to correct this.

I am sorry to inform you of a recent technical problem that may have inadvertently deleted your Hotmail account. We may be able to restore your account name in the near future so please try to access your account every few days to see if it has been restored. If you want an account immediately, I recommend you sign up for a new Hotmail account.

I understand how important e-mail is, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.

Sincerely,

Rommel Ca.

I trusted you, Hotmail, and you have betrayed me. Sure, I can see in retrospect that I should not have kept all of my email addresses and correspondence on that one account. But who else could I turn to? My stupid college won’t give me an address because I’m not full-time, and this one had worked so well for the last 2 years, and I could check it from any of the computers I use, I thought it would be alright…But I was naive. No free service can last forever.

Rommel(what kind of a name is Rommel, anyway?), you cannot possibly understand what this means. That account contains (I suppose I should say contained) registrations and passwords whose paper counterparts have long since been lost in the abyss that is my desk. And not for trivial things either, but for financial aid for next year and for my next college’s application. My physics professor emailed me the homework problems for Monday, and email I never received. Rather than doing my homework this weekend, I will have to think of every important person I have given my email address to in the last year and try to contact them, and it is a very long list. I only had email addresses for some of these people…Addresses in the address book in my Hotmail account…

And you have the arrogance to expect me to start a new account with you??? Are you out of your fucking mind???

:mad:

People are going to come in here and tell you that you get what you pay for, but I’m with you on this one.

Hotmail used to be dependable. I never had a problem one with it. Until Microsoft bought it and it’s completely gone to shit. It goes down and you can’t access your account or lose it entirely like you did. You get MSN SPAM daily. I never got SPAMMED until Microsoft and MSN became involved.

It sucks ass.

Sorry you lost all your stuff. Open an account with mail.com and one at Yahoo and then store your important stuff in both places so it won’t happen again.
Rommel? That name seems somehow appropriate, don’t you think?

Holy shit…when I think of all the data I have in my e-mail account…::shudder::

I am backing it up…TODAY!

You can get a free account with theFFFMB. Just look at the top right of the page, beneath the login text boxes. I use Yahoo, myself, and haven’t had a problem with it.

I frankly don’t see why anyone would use Hotmail. A cursory search of the internet turns up thousands of free email providers, none of which are associated with Microsoft. If you want security, Hushmail sounds promising. If you just want basic email, get a Yahoo account. The free games are sometimes worth playing (at off-peak hours, of course) and I’ve yet to have a single problem with them. Of course, as the FFFMB proves, you can get an email account from practically anywhere. Using Hotmail just isn’t something you need to do.

BTW, was Rommel the real name given in the droidmail? You should reply to it and sign the mail as Patton! :smiley:

Dear Lord.

I use hotmail because I have had that account since I was in seventh or eighth grade. If anyone who has ever known me ever wanted to contact me, that’s where I am.

But its getting rough.
