Micro$oft seems to have been bug.gering about with Hotmail yet again. Fortunately I access Hotmail as an additional e-mail account in Outlook Express (emphatically NOT that POS 'Windows Live mail') and only go to the Hotmail site now and again to check whether anything has been misdirected to my spam folder.
Don't give your Hotmail address to Skype - and don't let Micro$oft link Skype to Hotmail......
Why do these wretched geeks keep screwing about with a perfectly reliable system?
Also, do NOT store any addresses on ANY webmail site or you will inevitably find some hacker using them to spam your contacts.
Skype can be used for free without any webcam or microphone if you just want to send text messages to your Skype contacts. But an e-mail is just as simple!
