    Anyone else having problems sending emails via Blacknight Solutions today? I had a desperate time trying to send mails this morning and I have three emails trying to get out now which can’t seem to send. Normally they are reliable – ironically their support is via email so finding out what is causing this could…

    I have written previously about Microsoft’s Hotmail and what a lame excuse for a mail platform it is – in response to that Microsoft gave an account on their new mail platform, Microsoft Live Mail and I have to say it is a serious disappointment.

    I have been having serious mail problems the last couple of days. If you sent me a mail and I haven’t responded, there is a chance I didn’t receive your email. Please presume I didn’t receive your email and re-send it. Or phone/skype me!

    Robert Scoble (of Microsoft) wrote a post the other day claiming that “Windows Live Mail (formerly Hotmail) has a philosophy?“.

One of the comments was from Omar Shahine – Omar is a program manager on the Hotmail team. I appreciated his dropping by and commenting. Then over the weekend,…

    Really, I am furious right now. I wanted to use another term rather than suck (one which rhymes with suck) but I realise some people can be offended by profanity so I rowed back on the language. Why am I annoyed? – Microsoft’s insistence that you have to log into Hotmail every 30 days or…

    Matt points out a very interesting article on how to use your email client application more efficiently – I’m definitely going to try out some of its suggestions. I know I am a slave to my email app right now!

    I have a hotmail account (I feel like someone in group therapy – Tom: “Hi, my name is Tom and …. I have a hotmail account” All: “Hi Tom!”) and my Hotmail account’s storage is still only 2mb. I know, I know, Gmail is 2gb – I have a Gmail account too and I think…
