Hotmail issues

Morning

Anyone else having trouble with Hotmail ? I can open my account but that's about it - when I try to send an email it just saves to drafts & won't allow me to open anything ?

Hope it's Hotmail and not my computer :mad:

    Hi ozbird1 - Hotmail seems rubbish at the moment since they changed it. It takes me ages to look at all my emails as it just keeps going round in circles then seems to detete the lot. Think I will just change to a different one if they don't sort it out soon.
    BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO POST THE COMPETITIONS

    Just did a quick test and everything seems to be OK with my Hotmail but then I don't seem to get all the problems that people post about on here.

    We can't connect to Outlook at the moment. Please try again later.

    This is what I keep getting today. :mad:
  • I get the same message as Mell all the time and it takes ages for me to load up my emails or to send one because it just displays that message and has a circle going round.

    So frustrating!! :mad:

    Why did they have to change it, at least the one they had before worked properly all of the time. I wonder if they are looking into these issues.

    My hotmail is working perfectly. I have had no issues with it since it has changed :think:

    Mine is working okay today- though I still can't send attachments- since it got changed to Outlook.

    Always worth trying the standard, clear cookies, browser and cache (I clean disc as well), and if that fails to clear it, restart. :)

    Problem solved - I clicked to go on what looked like a Norton request but was actually a hidden nightmare called snap.do which infested my computer.
    This evening has been spent taking everything back to scratch and removing the pesky thing, Hotmail now running fine along with everything else which seems to be going much faster :o

    I experience intermittent problems:

    logging in - just getting a blank screen


    accessing folders

    deleting and temporary missing/de-listed emails



    Sometimes I am more successful on an alternative platform PC Firefox v ios app when the other plays up
