The point is that they increases to 2GB no 250MB
And you can get it by doing a new account...
I have one of this 2GB accounts, I tested with my old account, and it didn't work ...
could be they will soon change it back to 250MB for the free @msn.com users. It wouldn't be fair for the people who pay for 1GB of storage room in their Hotmail . Anyway, I wonder why people always want more and more, like you ever gonna need 2GB of e-mail storage room.
