Microsoft details forthcoming Hotmail update
"Graymail" is legitimate mail that you may have opted into but no longer want – junk mail, if you will, such as newsletters, promotional messages and so on. The revamped Hotmail allows you to clear your inbox of such mail by deleting it or moving it to folders for future reading. The feature also lets you sweep incoming messages automatically to discard graymail.
The new Hotmail is also integrated with Office Web Apps, allowing you to easily store documents and photos on your Microsoft SkyDrive, as well as edit documents directly in your inbox. You can also watch Hulu or YouTube clips in the inbox, and photos can be viewed in a slideshow (with Silverlight installed). Other new features or changes to existing ones include full-session SSL, multiple email accounts, subfolders and more.

Interesting, though unfortunately, and i'm sure many like me have moved onto gmail and have not looked back. I did so more than 4-5 years ago when gmail first surfaced and never looked back... |

Unless they want to enable IMAP, I'll still be laughing at them. |

Wow, after reading the comments above me I feel like the last person on earth who uses Hotmail. Actually, I like to maintain a hotmail and a gmail account. If they find a good way to integrate hotmail with Office docs and Skydrive, then I think they will have a winner. When do these changes take effect? Because as of right now I don't think I notice anything different. |

Maybe if they enable IMAP/Pop3 and SMTP, i'll make the switch back to hotmail (i don't remember this being possible back when I used it). But until that time, no thanks. I likes my gmail very much. |
