    If your OH can read theirs, then it indicates a problem on your laptop or your account.
    What do you mean by 'can't open'-do you mean that you can't log in?
    Can you log in on another machine?

    Emails in Outlook are downloaded to your PC. In Hotmail you are just viewing them via webmail. Different things.

  • Same problem here - I cannot access Hotmail or get new emails on my laptop but I can get them on my iPhone - the service appears to be experiencing some disruption according to http://downrightnow.com/hotmail

    Neighbour had same problem, could sign in (ie and firefox), but when on the inbox, no mails opened and some buttons not working. Another account on same machine worked, as did both accounts on netbook.

    Cured whatever the problem was by doing a restore to the day before problem happened.

    Hotmail back now after a six-hour outage for me.

    I saw this earlier in the week. I think they have had a few changes.

    In the URL change http:// to https://

    You should find that will work
