I've been using Hotmail for a year or two as one of my email accounts and when I shifted to using OS X as my primary platform about a year ago I had to find a hack to let me download email to my laptop using Apple's Mail client (rather than forcing me to go to the Hotmail site and wait through the loading of interminable advertisements).
Unfortunately, Hotmail has just turned off the WebDAV functionality that allowed me to do this. So I think I've finally reached the point where it is not worth using Hotmail anymore. (The 2Mb limit on mail stored online already had me reaching for the keyboard).
I guess Gmail has just become my primary online service. Maybe its time to co-locate my own server again somewere and just avoid all this crap.
