Hotmail Blocks Gmail Emails (and Invites)
bonhomme_de_neige writes "Emails and invitations sent to Hotmail from Gmail accounts do not bounce, but nor do they arrive in the recipient's Inbox - they vanish mysteriously into the aether. Joel Johnson writes in his Gizmodo weblog that invitations he sent to a Hotmail address bounced (this even received coverage from ZDNet). Search Engine Roundtable writes that several ISPs are blocking Gmail. It's already well-documented that Yahoo moves Gmail invites into the Bulk Mail folder. I've personally confirmed the Hotmail and Yahoo blocking." Please note: I've not been able to verify this one way or another.
...and it worked perfectly. I was able to get the invite in my Hotmail Inbox. So unless there are people with differing experiences, I'd say this is an over-reaction :)
Never underestimate the predictability of human stupidity...
but it worked just fine for me today.
btw this:
You are currently using 0 MB (0%) of your 1000 MB.
is a lot nicer to see than 10% used in hotmail for 6 e-mails, none of which are html or have pics.
I don't know about all this. My GMail invite when stright to my Yahoo! inbox last night.
A million eh, my uni only allows 2mb, so I'd be incredulously grateful if you'd wing one towards rjw16@st-and.ac.uk,
ooh, now to see if the uni spam filter works or will I have to rely on thunderbird.
Goo348@yahoo.com would appreciate one...
i'd like an invite... mpathetiq@excite.com
