Yesterday, my hotmail account decided to freeze me out for no apparent reason. It just tells me that my password is incorrect now. For various long and infuriating reasons, I can't get a reminder, and I can't reset the password and select a new one.
Hotmail has no customer service phone number. All you can do is call microsoft and try desperately to dig through their voicemail menus (I was on hold for 3 hours this morning) or you can send hotmail a "please help me with my problem" e-form that will probably be totally ignored.
In short, hotmail eats it, sucks it, blows it, and then doesn't even give it the courtesy of gentle pillow talk while it drifts off to sleep. If I ever get back in, I'm changing everything over to gmail.

Re: Hotmail
My hotmail nightmare is over! It turns out, someone had hacked my ebay account to post fraudulent auctions for Uggs, those stupid ass boots. Foolishly, my ebay and hotmail logins were the same, and i think they were using both to "confirm" their fraudulent auctions. So, long story short, ebay account cancelled, hotmail password changed, all my bills and important stuff switched over to gmail.
edit: I've traced the IP of the hacker. It's some person in Beijing. I have his email address...should I email him?

I don't think that question even needs to be asked. Just create a new email account to do it!!edit: I've traced the IP of the hacker. It's some person in Beijing. I have his email address...should I email him?
