Default Hotmail problem?

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

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.

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 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.

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?

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

I use Safari on my Mac.

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

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?
