[WEB4LIB] Re: HotMail Problem -Reply

[Janice White]

This seems to be a reoccuring problem with Hotmail.  Since they were taken over by MSN there have been a series of problems that result in the inability to access your mail.  I experienced these several times through the summer last year.  I tried  to access my mail while traveling at various public libraries and friends computers and it definitely was not a computer related problem.  Ironically it didn't affect all users.  It appeared to be a "group" or "node" of uses.  At least that is how it was explained to me when I saw one person access their mail while I couldn't.

The so called improvements made by MSN has caused a multitude of odd occurences that are becoming annoying to say the least.  All said and done only thing to do is wait, try, try and try again.  Then.... get another e-mail server if you can.

Good luck

Hotmail has been down for a couple of days, it seems. (I tried it
yesterday and today, but with no response)
