I rarely use hotmail, and most of the time I use Gmail, but I am working on an article about different webmail providers and have been doing it from within IE because in IE I can better evaluate the amount of advertising in each inbox... whereas I already have Firefox & Opera set up to block most advertising anyway. Hotmail also doesn't allow POP forwarding like I already have set up with Gmail and Thunderbird. When I noticed the MSN messenger automatically started up, I was ticked off that MS and Hotmail would assume that I automatically would like to sign in just because I view my email... I then though heck, someone else must be experiencing the same issues and maybe found a fix. BTW... because of this, Hotmail will suffer slightly in my comparision with other Webmail providers.
