I have used hotmail for free for more than ten years. Today I received a message from Microsoft telling me that I don't have enough space and I cannot send or receive messages. They say I have to pay monthly or annually to be able to do that. I have deleted almost all my messages from Hotmail, but the message is still there. I feel Microsoft is forcing me to pay for hotmail now.

That’s not helpful at all. I did all mentioned above and I’m still not able to use anything without paying.
I had my email 20 years and now I’m being charged also.
This needs recitifying or hotmail is going to loose accounts.
I refuse to pay for a service Iv had free for 20 years.
I'm really cross about this too!
How ****... What a pain! And no I'm not going to pay.
Will just have to accept difficulty of switching to a new email service....
Bad form Microsoft!!
Grrrrr.....
Microsoft has really screwed over longtime users. This is outrageous. I have to pay to use my email because you decided to link onedrive. Ridiculous.
Greedy f****ers
I had my email for over 20 years and now Microsoft is trying to charge me for it. Good bye.
