As far as I know it is only people registered in USA (maybe Canada too), that gets the upgrade. You get 25 MB right away and after a month you get 250.
I received this mail from a friend some time ago:
Quote:
Increase size of hotmail inbox to 25mb.
For free of course. And note that you will NOT loose any emails or addresses
in doing this (I just did it right now, and it worked perfectly fine)
1) go into your hotmail options, personal section, "my profile" specify
country: USA, state: NY, zip code 10024
2)quit your account by going to this page
http://www.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/accountclose and close your account
there. Please note once again, that you will NOT be loosing anything by
doing this. Confirm termination of your account. You will see a page saying
that your account has been terminated and marked for deletion.
3) Without delay, go to the login page www.hotmail.com and login with your
"old" username and password. This will reactivate your account right away
and prevent the deletion from happening.
4) Just keep clicking through the mail offers until you get to the normal
account page.
5) You now have 25mb storage, and have not lost anything at all. If you
remain signed in with a US address for over a month, your account limit will
be increased to 250mb.
