I'm paying $10+ a month for MSN because there was a notification a few years back that I couldn't access my hotmail unless I was paying for MSN as my ISP....I now understand that hotmail is a free service and I don't have to pay for MSN - which, by the way, serves no purpose to me other than because I need my email account. Can I cancel MSN and maintain my hotmail email?

Greetings,

Thanks for using the MSN Solution Center Answers Forum.

If you cancel your subscription you will indeed still keep your email address but your account will become a free Hotmail account.

Here are the specifics of a free Hotmail account:

Storage space: 5 GB

Inactivity period: 270 days or within the first 10 days after signing up for an account

Advertisements: Takes up a small portion of the Hotmail page, located on the right side portion

Attachments: Maximum of 10 MB

Thanks!
