DO THESE EXACTLY AS FOLLOWS OR ELSE YOU WILL NOT GET THE FREE 2GB account GO to Start menu --> All Programs --> then click on the MSN Explorer (YOU MUST SIGN UP for a @msn.com e-mail from the MSN Explorer e-mail whether you like it or not) Then follow the instructions to create a new account (click on I already have Internet Access ) It will proceed to ask you questions about password / secret question / demographics and once you create your username & password, click on the Mail (within msn explorer NOT INTERNET EXPLORER) icon and on the left it will display 0% of 2000MB GOOD LUCK. the free 2gb accounts also have POP access Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vishal Gupta 4 Report post Posted October 16, 2004 Guys! I want to tell u 1 thing. I've not checked it yet. I read that somewhere and found interesting. So i posted here. May be as Mahindar mentioned, microsoft gave these huge accounts to customers free of cost by mistake. So keep trying and tell the result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bablus 66 Report post Posted October 16, 2004 Word is it from Microsoft that the accounts that were made since last wednesday, which have a limit of 2gb will be checked and soon be dropped to 2MB! as soon as the upgrade has been completed. "Unfortunately for those benefiting from the error, Microsoft plans to revert these free accounts back to 2MB. However, free Hotmail users will get their own storage boost later this year when the company increases their memory limits to 250MB." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
