Is anyone having problems with their hotmail

[Lolly Badcock]

Hi everyone,

I know this post is not particuarly suitable for this forum but is anyone having problems with their hotmail?

Mine wont work and i have spent the last 3 hours trying everything possible. This is quite an urgent matter for me as i need to get to me emails.

I just need to know if hotmail itself is down or it is only me who is having problems.

Thanks in advance

If you're running windows XP, you can get your hotmail via outlook express.

Tools > accounts > Add > Mail

enter your name and your email

incomming server is "HTTP", http mail service provider is "hotmail".

Enter your email again and password. Then you're done.

PS. I can check my hotmail fine but they use so so many servers, yours might be screwed. I dunno.

Hotmail have stopped the SMTP and POP service now, you have to pay for it, unless u activated it before feb 05 something dont remember the exct date.

All works here POP and HTTP but i wouldnt rely on MS email anyway i have my mail send into a 2.6gb gmail account and my server so alway got access

Dear MSN Member,

Recently, Hotmail? announced that in order to improve customer experience and reduce spam and junk e-mail abuse on MSN? services, Hotmail will no longer allow new e-mail accounts to be accessed via Microsoft? Office Outlook? and Outlook Express.

We are pleased to inform you that because you are an existing and valued customer, at this time your current Hotmail and MSN account(s) are exempt from this restriction and you will be able to continue enjoying access to those accounts from Outlook or Outlook Express. However, any new Hotmail or MSN accounts you create will not be accessible via Outlook or Outlook Express.

Because you actively use Outlook or Outlook Express to access one or more of your MSN Hotmail or MSN e-mail accounts, this could be the ideal time to consider subscribing to our powerful new

Some of Hotmail's servers are down - there are messages all over the internet about it.

Post your email address and I'll send you an invitation to Gmail (part of Google) which is FAR better than hotmail.
