This is what I would suggest to people- do not
use WLMD. You don't need it. Use OE, Outlook,
or Windows Mail as your email client to check Pop
accounts. Messenger sits in your system tray and
if you right click on the little fellow it will tell you how
many emails you have- Messenger allows notifies you
of new email.
Then, the only time you need to look at advertising is
when you use your browser to check Hotmail.
I have had a Hotmail account since before Microsoft
bought it. But it has never been one of my main accounts.
Having the ability to check it through an email client is
not something I consider important. Especially, if it means
looking at advertising while checking all my other email
accounts, too.
