I think I'm going to stop using Hotmail.
15 years ago
Sorry if I become so vulgar in this journal but their new layout is fucking terrible.
I sent a couple incredibly urgent emails this morning and found that I hadn't replied to the email I was reading. No, because it did some bullshit like call my email a conversation, it emailed to my own account.
Fuck it, I can't believe I've been sitting here wasting time, waiting for an email back and it hadn't even sent. I never had this problem before this crappy interface update they did that just made more crap to wade through to do one simple thing. Check emails.
All I do is open each email in a tab in browser, reply to each, shut the browser tabs and then come back to my inbox later, and wow. It has emailed my own emails to MYSELF. Great job hotmail.
Also for the excuse "Oh just stop using it then?" it's not a case of that. I can't even remember how many people have my email adress there for important reasons. Not that easy a switch over if I don't remember which site uses that email and doesn't email often.

As for complaining about the interface, eh, it could be worse; hotmail could be gone entirely.
For example, Hotmail introduced this new "Sweep" feature that let you delete everything in your inbox... and I believe that my outdated Webmail plugin triggered this feature by error because my 2 old Hotmail accounts don't have much messages left. Magic!
Perhaps Hotmail knew about the Webmail plugin and changed the website interface in a way the "Sweep" feature would be triggered by error.
Tsk.
Good thing I have the emails locally for reference purpose.
If hotmail is doing something weird now I haven't encountered it. I know the format has changed, but it's just made me do an extra click to get to the old inbox looking page.
