Hotmail problem?

[starflyte1]

Is anyone else having a problem with hotmail today? I cannot open any message on my Mac, but can on my iPhone.

OMG. Thank you. I am not insane..or incompetent. Have you figured it out?

[shcisamax]

Which internet browser are you using?

[sandybill2]

Went to hotmail just now---it just "sits there"---- email does not load---not the usual shade of blue either. I use internet explorer but have always used that without a problem.

[shcisamax]

Yes. It is not the regular format for hotmail for me. I use safari and have never had a problem. Had a young friend working on this all afternoon and thought I would check with TV puter people and found it isn't just something I have done on my puter. ANyone have any idea how to fix this? Is it a virus? What the heck is going on?

I've got it too..........Have to go thru all sorts of contortions to get my mail to open. The gang must be upgrading again:cus: Last year I had another problem, forwarding messages I think. Hotmail swore they did nothing but it didn't work for weeks. Went to site to complain and many others were posting the same problem. All of a sudden it was fixed.:shrug:

Soooo. what do we do? Please don't tell us that it could be weeks before it works. Who does one contact? Is it an Apple issue or a hotmail issue?

[starflyte1]

I don't believe it is an Apple issue because Hotmail both sends and receives on my iPhone.

I use Safari on my Mac.

[shcisamax]

So are people having Hotmail issues on other computers or just Apple?

[shcisamax]

I don't understand why only Apple Hotmail users are having issues. Or is it some Apple Hotmail users and not others? I do not have a problem on the phone either. And I too have Safari. It is not a Safari issue though because Sandybill2 has internet explorer and has the same issue.

I believe this is strictly a hotmail issue. I logged on tonight and everything seemed O.K. Got my fingers crossed.

I read somewhere that Hotmail was changing to a different cleint software. Did they do that yet?

I still can't log on. Serious boo hoo.

I just logged into Hotmail on my Mac and no problems!

I, too had problems on my Mac yesterday, same thing, iphone OK. Everything's good now, Hotmail loading properly.

[shcisamax]

Did you do anything to correct it or did it just figure it out on it's own?

[shcisamax]

Success this morning!

I too had problems yesterday and again today, and suspect it's the result of the upcoming switch over to the new Outlook.com. I got an email announcing the preview over a month ago, and personally not a big fan of it, and also found it difficult to switch back to Hotmail. Nothing near what Outloook is; I am a big fan of Outlook! I sure hope they get the "bugs" fixed quickly as I am tired of the problems - I have both gmail and Hotmail accounts and really prefer the gmail experience. But, I like having both so I can fall back to the other when one is down or having problems, just like yesterday and today.
