Off-topic:
Hotmail isn't as good as it once was since Microsoft bought Hotmail and one has to go through Outlook.com to get to their Hotmail email account. At one time, Microsoft stated it didn't read people's emails. But, Microsoft is now reading everyone's Hotmail emails. How do I know? Simple. I got two emails last week in my Hotmail emails.
One email was from my credit card company telling me my monthly statement was ready and it had exact amount of money I was going to be sending them when I got my statement via snail mail so my credit card company was telling me to be on the lookout for it in my street mailbox.
The other email was from Microsoft telling me about a new "feature" where they were going to put my important appointments and other stuff in their Calendar automatically which one gets in Hotmail. The only problem, Microsoft sent me an example of how the Calendar would look and when I looked at the sample Calendar, it had the "EXACT" dollar amount (right to the penny amount) in the Calendar and the latest date the amount would considered not late.
I went into the options for the Calendar and quickly disabled everything for the Calendar. Since I was then in a foul mood, since the email had a feedback option, I sent a "not so polite" message to whoever at Microsoft thought this would be a good idea. I sent the feedback to whoever was in charge of this new feature telling Microsoft I didn't like having my emails being read by anyone at Microsoft. I also told Microsoft, whoever thought this idea was good one, to shove this idea up his/her backside where the sun doesn't shine and when it could not be shoved any further, shove it some more for good measure.
Once a week, I check the Calendar since I don't trust Microsoft to honor those settings which I disabled for the Calendar in my personalized Hotmail email account settings. And I made sure to alert my friends to not put anything important in their emails to me. I do the same when I send an outgoing email from me using Hotmail.
Needless to say, I didn't get a reply email from Microsoft concerning my email and the new Calendar feature.
