So for a while now I couldn't delete messages from my hotmail email account using any of the Macs in the house. I do keep an IBM ThinkPad around, mostly just to keep an eye on those bastards in Redmond, and I had to use that to delete most of the crap-ola that accumulates. I have the hotmail account solely for when some online site or service demands an email account (like the Epson online store, or Brookstone's, etc.) so the spam you just KNOW you're going to get from dealing with them doesn't clog up my real inbox. I want the shipping confirmation, just not the 20 or 30 "free offers" that are bound to follow. Hell, even my town's little league needs an email address for anyone signed up, and they send spam. But the worst are the catalogue retailers who sell their email lists to other scumbagmaggotmotherfsckerputapendejos. So it's hotmail for them, and once or twice a week I peruse the inbox and pick out relevant stuff from the floatam and jetsam that the spam filters let through. Who the fsck is "Rumba Peru" anyway?! Not to get off on a rant, but Safari would not delete anything, but with the latest security update everything is back as it should be. It's the little things that really make it all worth it!

Glad to see it's fixed, but I switched to Yahoo! mail long ago. Better, faster interface and customizable news page.

I agree that hotmail totally sucks. MS has sold our email addresses countless times, so periodically I forward all my junk email to [email protected] It's their mess let 'em suck on it. I have a Gmail account for serious online email, plus my mac.com address and one at optonline.net, but those are for work and family. And Macnn, of course!

really? I have had a hotmail account for 4 years and have never had one piece of spam. Unbelievable, I know, but true.
But hotmail still sucks.

I haven't ran software update yet so I'm prepared to be wrong.
