Top Tech Talker Tom hates Hotmail

bernard @ 4:42 pm

Tom Raftery, the award winning Tech Podcaster has railed Hotmail for deleting all the contents of his hotmail account.

He writes:

“Why am I annoyed? - Microsoft’s insistence that you have to log into Hotmail every 30 days or they delete all your info. I don’t use Hotmail much, but I have had my Hotmail account for years and there was tons of old email info in there. I logged in today (after obviously more than 30 days) and I find all my info has been deleted by Microsoft.”

Whats even more stupid is that you can’t get e-mail OUT of Hotmail by POP or IMAP, without paying for it.

Something that makes Tom almost say a word that rhymes with “suck”, must be bad.

Arrgghh..don’t you hate that.

You tell um Tom.

  2. yes, but you can’t get your mail out of hotmail…unless you pay for it.
