Is there a problem with windows live hotmail

These problems have been terrible. Tuesday, August 10, PM. Yes I am using the "new look" which was also forced upon me and I am constantly getting this message. This "new look" has been nothing but slowness since it came out and has nothing to do with my computer as it happens on multiple different models at home and at work.

Wednesday, August 25, PM. Thursday, October 7, PM. Hotmail new version is pathetic! Monday, October 25, AM. I have been having this problem all day today!!! It's so annoying when you really want to access your account. Microsoft please do your maintenance work when I sleep!!!

Monday, November 8, PM. Its aweful. This never happens with google. Even with free account. Free should not mean its going to be rubbish. Best Regards, Please mark the answers which is helpful to you.

Monday, January 10, PM. I am having no luck switching back and this is making me very angry — before you change things on people — give them the option. After all I am the one who uses the system. Another problem with the new hotmail — I seem to have lost [ie I cannot access them — an error message appears when I click saying report this to Hotmail!

Is the reason I cannot access my email with your new update because my eMac is too old? It is version If this is the reason, then I will have to opt out until I get a newer computer or more memory. As a 56 year old net virgin, it has taken me some million lost brain cells to realise why my Hotmail has changed. Due to the arbitrary way this has been done, I cannot now access my address book.

Is this right? I tried importing the addresses, but was told the file was too large and try again after reducing it. Have I really lost all my sent emails? How do I access the new system with my present Email address? I like the new Hotmail re style and usability, but since the change I have had countless problems which may not be because of the change. They have really screwed up my computer good now.

It is so hard as I have to have my sister read and respond to my emails for me. Any ideas. Please help, and yes, Happy Holidays. How stuuid can one be ,if I cant open the mail how am I supposed to read the email they have sent!!! How do I get in touch with Hotmail to see what they are playing at with me.. Wow the new Windows Live look great — but I have lost my Messenger contacts. Using the new mail I also have no contacts except if I go directly onto the web??

I fell back to Messenger 8. Now to fall Back to the old Mail — I cant get that right. So now I uninstall the new windows live and go back 1 version — all works except the photo — loader —Huh!! Dear Leo I have tesk top PC, since I have a laptop, did not use my PC for a year or so, I tried the other day to check my email, I signed in the hotmail and it say new version is available to download, tried to download and it kept shuting off, the PC is about 9 years old and is MKz, could you please let me know how to get it working again.

Im sure leo would like to write an article or already did on how to configure outlook for your hotmail. Apparently my disaster started several days ago when I innocently signed up for Live Hotmail, assuming it was just another update of my longstanding and large Hotmail. Where are my Hotmail incoming messages, contact list, Sent, and other folders?? I have looked at length but have found no way to retrieve any.

Is there some simple way to get them? I tried uninstalling msn, but accidentally uninstalled the wrong component, which has left me without my Hotmail account, im so frustrated.

I tried signing in with new live mail account, but just cannot retrieve my old email address….. I am a bit concern about loosing the old window lve messenger hot mail because of my regular contact and my regular live chat. Hope you understand. I am unable to get my email since tuesday. I have managed to get a new Gmail. Dear leo, I have had difficulty getting into my hotmail account, told me my password was wrong.

Even the security questions were wrong. Then it told me it is temporarily unavailable, when a virus was removed. Will I be able to retrieve it again in a couple of days. I was told by another IT person to let you people know that there is a virus going around steeling passwords and accounts.

Very upsetting. Your comments were not helpful at all. Are you saying just start over with a new email service? Which one do you suggest? Outlook express was nothing but a problem. Google is the company that turns in people in China. Yahoo ditto. I fear what I will find … or NOT find. K , i have not had any problems at all. My problem is that the new Hotmail live mail refuses to recognize my ISP, so any time I try to send a link message it is blocked! Is there any way I can uninstall Windows live mail without losing the hotmail account?

LEO, I anm in the same boat with other people. I cannot get my msn hotmail. I cannot find a phone number for tech support. I am put in my alternate email address but everything is so screwed up with this Live Hotmail. Lorrie G. My problem I am having with the new version of windows live hotmail. Which I think Microsoft was running from in the first place. When making improvement one should make sure that it really worth it.

I have the same issue It work until a few months back when hotmail stopped picking up main and now it gets everything up until 2 weeks ago. No newer. My error log shows the same as yours Removing that mail through the web UI doesn't do anything to Outlook connecting.

I too have tried the usual uninstall, re-install all the way to the machine level. It happens on my R2 box as well as Win7 Ultimate with Outlook 64 bit. Anyone know if there's a limit to the amount of mail that you can download from a Windows Live Hotmail account even on Outlook with the bit Outlook Connector for Hotmail on Win7 bit? Big step but I want this to work But now I don't get any errors when I sync, so it seems to sync fine, but now I noticed that it's not downloading all my mail!

Fyi I went through the process of removing my Hotmail account from Outlook and also the bit Connector latest version, This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.
