I got one recently and to be honest I barely use it. Mainly cos everything I am subscribed to (like forums, ebay, mailing lists etc) and my friends etc all have my hotmail address.... What would be good is if I could set up a pop thingy so that whatever was sent to hotmail was forwarded to my g-mail....

you cant use it thru outlook web based only

yes it does keep every email ever it also has an advert bar on the right pane of the window.

it scans your emails for "phrase" words and then brings up adverts associated with those words in your mail.

i use it for my email account usually cosworth stuff comes up on the side

not meaning to sound funny, but I would not mind a account to. So if anyone has an invite I would appreciate it.

Thanks
