Hotmail = rubbish!

Anyone else not able to read emails? If I had £1 for just how many times I've logged in and then tried to open the same email today....

Is it me or is Hotmail getting worse? I have stuck it out for the past year as I've had my hotmail account for about 10 years. I don't want to change it! But its now beginning to become a bit of a joke: not being able to delete messages, not being able to read or open them, not being able to reply all due to technical errors....!!

I know Yahoo are also rubbish having my Yahoo account playing up even more frequently, Are there any email accounts (non subscription) which do work?

    mines not worked since yesterday evening!:(
  • There is an issue apparently https://status.live.com/detail/hotmail

    I've had some doubts about Hotmail for a while. At the moment I'm trying GMail by having all my Hotmail forwarded to it until I'm ready to make the change.
    I've had no problems with it so far.

    It has only just started getting bad for me with the above mentioned problems ... I've been trying to send an email for about an hour now. :shocked:
  • Gmail is probably the best of the email services, they also give you unlimited storage so you never have to delete an email.

    All working for me - no problems recently :p
  • Hotmail works well for me, but I don't do a lot with it other than read and send a few emails a week.
  • I'm having problems with Hotmail today - haven't been able to access anything since this morning. I was hoping the issue would have been fixed by now but no! It is getting frustrating as there do seem to be regular issues so am definitely considering changing. It's just a bit of a pain though!
