Okay, I've had this email since 6/25/06 and its really starting to annoy me.
If it matters I have a hotmail account and I use the new Windows Live Messenger and the Windows Live Mail.
Anyways every time I try to delete the messege, or even just open it up to see what the hell it is exactly, (garuntee you it's spam) it crashes my browser and it just simply won't delete.
It says the sender is "Processing Center" and the subject is "Ebay Gift Certificate Info..."
Two things. I am 15 next month, not old enough for a credit card, or hardly anything for that matter, so if for some fluke reason it's not spam, then it is a very meaningless and pointless email.
I just wan't somones input and ideas as to how to delete this god forsaken email because I'm tired of looking at it.
Input please.

Log into your account using Firefox.

Delete.

Ok, I'll go download firefox (never used it before, all I use is IE) and try.
Thing is, I've tried to delete this on multiple computers and it crashed their browser also...

Go get firefox and use gmail and all of your life problems will be 100% solved

I can invite you to gmail.

Just PM me your email address.

Sethamundo · « **Reply #6 on:** June 29, 2006, 01:23:40 pm »

Well if you want it my email adress is mundo726@hotmail.com ...but I don't think I'm gonna get a gmail account.
Unless you can convince me that it's THAT much worth it.
And I don't wanna deal with compatability issues and having to re-distribute me email adress to people.

sent an invite. You really should make an account and look at it before deciding

the hotmail interface is probably the worst I've ever used for any email thing in my life

Sethamundo · « **Reply #8 on:** June 29, 2006, 02:17:20 pm »

Well, so far I prefer my hotmail account over gmail.
The interface is great I think, were you talking about hotmail/msn or the new Live stuff...this new Live sstuff is awsome in my opinion.

Although I ditched Hotmail ages ago and now use Gmail...I have signed up for a Hotmail account to see how the new Live Mail works. My brother said it's really good.

Haha, man, at least your email works decently. I've had to do some interesting workarounds to actually get my email.

My actual email address is killsawATmadgaming.net, however, when I go to the webbased email, it shows absolutely nothing, even though the account is getting the email. So I had to set it up to forward to a hotmail account, and then since hotmail sucks, I use the webmail extension on an old version of thunderbird because it doesn't work on the new versions... Kinda sucks, but hey.

Anyways, good job getting firefox, Internet Explorer is just stupid. Takes them forever to get the basic features that are in Firefox and Opera.

Gmail stinks because the spam folder cannot be purged with on click as with Yahoo e-mail which is annoying for compulsive people such as me who need to have everything just so.

I hate seeing that folder fill up, and I hate the time it takes on Gmail to clean it out. Otherwise, it's a great mail service, though I think Yahoo has a better interface and probably make for an easier transition for someone more familiar with Hotmail.

G-Mail owns! Waaaay better than hotmail.

Um, Select: All, None, Read, Unread, Starred, Unstarred
"Delete Forever" or "Mark as Read"

I have gmail, but i found no use to use it, since i have 10 different emails :0

FliesLikeABrick · « **Reply #16 on:** June 30, 2006, 07:31:51 am »

I have about 8 different e-mail accounts that I use, but all of them forward to gmail, and since that happens, gmail also lets me send as those accounts (i use my u13.net and forums.soldat.pl accounts on gmail)

That only works for what messages are displayed per page. Having to do that multiple times for each page is a waste of time. With Yahoo, it's as simple as clicking "empty" on the bulk folder.

why do you care so much about emptying your spam folder?

Why do you hate freedom? Are you a terrorist?

As I said, just a compulsive hangup.

I'm not too crazy about Gmail's unique filing system, but that's just me. It's still a great service and far better than Hotmail and Netscape. The ad-free Gmail service is also likely better than Yahoo in most regards, but the spam thing and that filing system bug me too much.
