I’ve registered for Windows Live mail and activated the SMS service as above. I receive all new emails coming to my inbox on my phone as SMS. But whenever I try to reply to these emails using the r command or compose a new email using c command. It tells me that the command is not recognised. Like for sending a new email, I type in “C name@address.com hi how r u?” without the quotes and send to Windows Live number(from which I receive SMS about new emails in Inbox), but the email does not get sent and I get an error reply from Windows Live.

Wondering how many people still use Hotmail! Still its a good move from MS India. And SMS incoming is always free, so why the notification?
