I've been getting bounces on mail I've sent to 3 separate hotmail ID's
in the last few days. Are they addressing the problem?

XVP What's the scoop on Hotmail??
Hotmail is pretty unreliable. I used to use it, and too many emails either bounced, weren't delivered or took 2-3 days to arrive. They were slower than the USPS! That's why I use Yahoo...
I don't think the evil empire cares enough to give people a quality product for free. Gee, maybe Bill Gates was a casino mogul in a past life. <g>

If you are thinking of switching to another email account, or you'd
like to try something different, you can sign up for Gmail!
(http://www.gmail.com) You can sign up via cell phone if you have
text messaging capabilities, or I can send you an invitation (I have
100 to hand out). Just reply to me privately that you're interested
in having a Gmail account and I'll send you the invitation to join.
What's really nice about the Gmail interface is the way it handles
emails. It groups all emails by subject and then puts them in order
on one single page, hiding common text. This way, you can read an
entire thread of emails regarding a mundane topic such as penalty
cards without scouring through the quoted lines of text over and over
again in every email. It saves a lot of time to be able to completely
skip messages in the thread just by hiding them. Plus, with 2.6 GB of
email storage, you never have to delete an email (just just archive
your emails). Then, when you want to bring up a conversation again,
you just do a very fast mail search and your emails come up really
fast. Just think -- no searching through the slow and inefficient
Yahoo! groups email search interface.
I know that others aren't totally happy with the Gmail interface, but
I am a believer! Even if you don't use it for vpFREE, it's good for
sending larger files and storing them online for future use. I use it
just fine with Firefox 1.5. Plus, for those of you who are "techies,"
you have free POP access and forwarding for this email account
currently.

Yahoo! Groups Links
there was a time when I was on alot of yahoo groups, and I found that
@hotmail and @yahoo addresses don't always work that well (missing
messages, messages that took days to get there...). since I switched
to @gmail I don't know that I have missed or bounced a message.
