Possibly stating the obvious, but is it diverting them in to the spam folder, or whatever the hotmail equivalent is?

Get Gmail. Can’t believe people still use Hotmail. It’s the Ask Jeeves of email clients. I guess it at least isn’t Yahoo.

Trev. I see your questions about Hotmail and every time I think the same.

Bin it off.

Difficult if you've been using it for a couple of decades though. You will lose contacts one way or another.

That’s usually a good thing. No more junk mail!
You could easily save your valued contacts anyway. It’s wise to have a written copy of them anyway, considering the precarious nature of email and the potential loss of access to them.

Cost/benefit.

Trev uses it for business so it may be worth paying someone a few quid to make it less painful.

Millions of people have done it.

You can set up gmail to collect your hotmail too.

It is a ballache though, yes. As is any change to a service which has idiosyncrasies you’ve adapted to over the years.

Is it worth it when your target audience is a bunch of geriatrics listening to music from half a century ago who are probably still stuck with Hotmail and Yahoo themselves? My mum (in her 80s) still uses Yahoo and I keep telling her she should have Gmail, but it works for her, she wants to read and reply to emails and it does that.

Considering the problems that trev seems to encounter then I would say yes. It is worth it.

/fin.

Hotmail is basically OWA these days. Perfectly functional. I actually prefer to Gmail tbh.
