Mines OK today, but has been VERY slow to load over the last few days.

Maybe using a non-Microsoft browser might improve things? Mine works faster with Chrome than it does with IE11.

Mine has finally settled down.

Over the last month or two they were trying to get everyone to try a Beta, then
converted or updated Hotmail somehow. I keep a tab open on my browser, and
started getting errors and address corruptions. I had to log out and in a couple of
times, but the errors persisted up until a week ago.


I think a couple of browser,  mozilla firefox, updates may have re-synchronized things.

I access my email via Thunderbird.  Never noticed a thing - each of the accounts just sits there and works.  When I do occasionally have to go in "raw", it is a PITA because I can never remember how.

     It just doesn't load. The address comes up in the heading box , the reload arrow doesn't rotate to indicate something coming through.   I.T. novice so keep it simple Alex :embarrassed:   Bed now , if Lotto doesn't cough up for new computer >:-o

Interestingly I'm seeing lots of reports at the moment for Hotmail service issues. Emails not being delivered etc. Probably related!

I`ve found that my incoming hotmail is being recorded on my "history" . I`ll try answering a few.   My addresses of course are still missing. Curious. :((

There have been notifications on Hotmail inviting me to switch over and try their new beta version of their new improved offering. Assuming this to be beta testing (external user testing before final release) of their new service I declined.
I am getting no problems with my Hotmail, I wonder of those who are having problems clicked yes for the beta version of the new version of hotmail/outlook.

Derek, I thought they got their Rose Manure from advertising revenue .  Tiger,  I don`t think I clicked on for a Beta version.
