Who else have the same expirence?

I sent out a Gmail invitation to a hotmail account,
and normally Gmail arrive in a split second, but
this time I'm still waiting Gmail to confirm my approach.

What I know is that my Gmail invitation are send/ out there in cyberspace, and the person is still waiting :O(

Damned' is "notHOT MAIL" blocking Gmail or. ....?

A lot of people have said the same... I guess Gmail invitations do not always make it through Hotmail's spam filter. There's even a conspiracy theory out there Microsoft is intentionally blocking them. Until I find proof for that I wouldn't believe it though.

I just sent a Gmail invitation to my Hotmail account and it got through fine. I deleted all my Hotmail contacts, removed all filters, and the junk mail protection was set to enhanced (the highest level which still allows emails from people outside the contacts). In other words no, Hotmail doesn't block Gmail. (At least not for everyone, not at the moment.)

I've heard people complain about this before. I think I even saw an article about it too.

Why not send the invite link? I've seen people do this on a few forums.

Btw, hotmail sucks. It really does.

I got my invite through my hotmail account. It doesn't appear that hotmail filters or bans GMail invites anymore.

Kimspitsop, like the mail said, "this message is larger than the current system limit or the recipient's mailbox is full". Actually, the second is more likely, you know, a 2MB mailbox is like carrying a floppy disk this days...
