More space in hotmail.

It seems that hot mail is giving like 250MB pf space to new accounts.

How about existing accounts? I am not going to change my username just to have more space.

Excite moved from 3MB to 125 MB seamlessly. Suddenñy I just had a lot more space.

Any ideas?

Excite did the best upgrade I have seen among the mail servers so far.  I suspect that it is easier to give it to new users first because for those that have been around a while they probably are going to have to move things around.

Did you upgrade to Hotmail Plus?  If so, 2GB is what's offered, more here:

Asta,

Can you check if you have regular hotmail account , if your space has been increased to 250 MB. As the questioner says looks to me it is only for new hotmail accounts that the space is 250 MB..
Mine has not increased or I donot have an option to increase to 250 MB..

I upgraded from Regular Hotmail to Hotmail Plus.
I sent a request to Hotmail via Email on this and they confirmed standard accounts will be upgraded to 250 MB, but ...
Note: While HotmailSympatico Mail is currently increasing storage space for all of our users, it will take some time to upgrade everyone.
So does confirm this.
In Hotmail Plus and Hotmail Premium service it's 2GB
