There are sites that block all mail from hotmail because of the number of 
twits who misuse their accounts there for such activities as spamming.

Even without cookies, the can track you: your userid/password identifies 
you, and TCP/IP tells their software precisely where on the net you are.

If I were providing a free email service, I'd want to be sure I could 
resolve any complaints to an individual: no way would I want millions of 
letters each day complaining about all the misdeeds, criminal or 
otherwise, of my users.
