Has anyone else received this kind of email before? Or perhaps 8 years ago you were still in Primary School and unlikely to have email.
10 days ago I received an email with the above subject title. At first I thought something was up, it looked like an official Hotmail email but there was no Hotmail icon for it in the inbox and the address it was sent from seemed rather odd and unofficial.

Dear MSN® Hotmail® Member:
As a valued MSN Hotmail Member, you will receive your storage upgrade automatically in the coming days. Over the month of August we will upgrade the storage capacity of your e-mail account to 250 MB - that's 125 times your current storage limit! We will also increase your attachment size from 1MB to 10MB. This means you will be able to store and attach more than ever and it's free!

So I waited and just noticed a few minutes ago that my account has indeed been upgraded to 250MB and I just sent a 6MB file to a friend of mine.
Not sure why they gave me this as I just asked a few people and they are still stuck on 2MB. I have had the email account since 1996 8 years ago so I guess that's as good a reason to give me some sort of a reward. They do have a Hotmail Plus thing costing £14.99 but then that makes my new upgrade look pathetic as you get 2GB space 20MB email size and many other nice features.
So yeah I'm happy, it's free and now I dont have to worry abount deleting 150 junk emails that manage to find their way into my inbox over the course of a few days. That and being able to send large files such as photos, I've been taking lots of new photos lately hopefully I'll get a chance to show them on SR.
