    gmail to hotmail???

    Recently it seems as if any mail I send form my gmail account (used thorugh Thunderbird) cannot be received by Hotmail accounts. Is this because hotmail counts it as spam or is google having a problem with their servers?

    Many Thanks
    Jamie

    I hate hotmail. Only use it for my MSN account. Gmail all the way... i rember when i get my invite for gmail my mate said it had to be to a non hotmail acount else it gets blocked. I would of thaught theyd do this with all mails.

    EDIT: I did a test while wrighting this post it came through eventualy. Not into junk mail jsut to my hotmail inbox. It might of been picking up on the e-mail subject. Or size? to expalin your problem.

    Having used hotmail for a while for MSN, I now have just given up on it completely. It gave me loads of trouble while selling some stuff on ebay - it was a nightmare contacting some of my customers, but some others who used hotmail got my emails fine.

    Perplexing stuff.

    Btw I felt so special when I had gmail just after release, but now it means nothing....sob

    hotmail is absolutely useless imo,
    think about it, why do you sit there wasting your time waiting for adverts to load?
    i use it for msn i got all my contacts on there and i cant be bothered to register a passport.
    i use my own email address with my own hosting, i have pop3 or imap access i also forward every email i recieve to a gmail address so if i need to find an email which i have deleted i just go to the gmail address

    hotmail used to block gmail invites, they then started allowing them to spam instead
