If the standard 2MB of storage space users get with their Hotmail account is
not enough, they must now pay a yearly fee--plus applicable taxes--to
increase their quota to 10MB.
Users who do not opt for the storage space increase may find that their messages
bounce if they go over quota, and messages and attachments removed by Hotmail
aren't recoverable.
Note: For security reasons, we strongly recommend that UO email account
holders use SSL-encrypted UO webmail (https://webmail.uoregon.edu) for their
web-based email instead of free web-based email such as Hotmail. Hotmail is
not encrypted, leaving users vulnerable to hackers and email-borne viruses.
For more information on email security, see "UO Preferred Secure Software" at http://micro.uoregon.edu/security/ and the article "Better Safe than Sorry" in the Spring 2000 Computing News (http://cc.uoregon.edu/cnews/spring2000/hotmailsecurity.html).
