Actually, they stated quite clearly that the $20/year was necessary to work
with OE.

Hmmm.... lets see. I can get a 100gb drive for $200. So 10gb... yes... you
are right. 10gb is worth about $20.

I should hope they don't expire the account. It was paid for. Suppose you
pay for a year of phone service, and you don't use the phone for 90 days.
Wouldn't you get upset if the phone company shut it down due to inactivity?

That's nice if you need pop3. Which I don't.

See above

I don't care what it says NOW. I care about what it said in the email I
received about a year ago, which said "pay $20 if you want to use OE with
hotmail".

That email seemed pretty "expressed". But forget the class action.

Anyone who paid $20 and uses OE should just go to

and file an online complaint with the State of Washington Attorney General.
