 | | By December 1997, Hotmail reported more than 8.5 million subscribers [1] and was sold later that month to Microsoft for a reported $400m, which rebranded it under its MSN umbrella. |
 | | Hotmail offers 250 MB of free e-mail storage (although there is a 10 MB attachment limit) for users in the US, Canada, the UK, Spain and Australia; users in other countries get a mailbox limit of 2 MB. |
