Hotmail !!!!!

Aces170 · Mar 25, 2005

I have been sending mails past 1 month from Gmail to many of cousins friends all over the world using hotmail. And I get no replies, so I try to send a test mail from 4 of my Gmail Id's and they all land up in my Spam in Hotmail ID !!!!

What kinda bullsit is this.. My inbox is full of crap spams and the legit mail goes in Spam.

Why dont you guys try and see if it occurs ?

yes...that is a known problem.
Only solution, ask those ppl to add ur id to their safe list.
This has been happening ever since GMail started.

Thats pure BS from Microsoft..
Have to resend thru Hotmail ID now...

Aces170 · Mar 25, 2005

Woah..
Sent a test mail from Yahoo, goes in Junk..
Sheesh have to mass mail ppl to stop using Hotmail!!!

Or you could configure your spam mail settings in your options in your hotmail account.

Aces170 · Mar 25, 2005

I would, but would others change or bother to change the default settings !!!

Avtar · Mar 25, 2005

I'm sure you don't have the default settings enabled. Check.

Aces170 · Mar 25, 2005

The filter level is at Enhanced which is the default level.

Avtar · Mar 25, 2005

Then change it.

Aces170 · Mar 25, 2005

The point being, at least ppl who are not tech savvy are not gonna fiddle with the settings!!!My aunt who is 60 yrs old is not gonna change it for ? And she must be wondering why no one writes to her ....

Stupid shit, whats the point of an email addy if most of the legit emails go in Spam folder and most of the Spam comes in the Legit folder...

Weird, I am getting mals in my hotmail from friends who use gmail properly?

You access it directly from the website or use outlook express?

How does it matters. If it ends up in JunkBox u will find it there only, no matter how u access it.

Setting filters at oe level or hotmail level makes a difference.
