Looks like I'll have to stop using hotmail altogether. It seems recently they have implemented some random checks to stop the spambots. Now I'm all in favor of that, but the problem is the page keeps timing out on me, effectively making it impossible to send any emails at all.

It isnt too bad for my baitig e-mail, as I just opened that address a few days ago, but I have been using my 'real' hotmail address for about 8 years now, and I'm royally pissed off if I have to change it because of this.

I don't think any of you guys know a way of bypassing / stopping this validation nonsense, would you? It's going to be a real PITA to move all my stuff over to gmail.

Would that get rid of that annoying email verification thing?

Heh, I got my laptop hooked up to my cellphone and using GRPS right now. It is slower than many dial-up connections, and the reception is fairly poor so I get booted every hour or so, which requires to restart the phone and try to reestablish the connection. It sucks big time, but it's the only thing available over here.. I am pretty sure I have found the exact middle of Nowhere here in northern Thailand.. Very Happy
