Anybody having any issues with hotmail/Messenger?

Post by o'dium »

Yeah yeah, blah blah, "Don't use MSN" etc...

Anyway, just recently (Past week or so maybe) when I get a mail, and click the email icon on Live Messenger, it loads up but then one of two things happen:

1) It loads, then instead of going to the inbox, it takes me to the start page ("Hi Gavin,"area).
2) It tries to load, but then gives me a "page cannot be displayed" error, until I refresh and it loads...?

It gets stranger... Thinking it was MSN, I tried going to Hotmail itself. Clicking on a mail from my list sometimes will take me right the way back to the start page...? Even clicking reply does it sometimes...?

So yeah, anybody else noticed anything odd with hotmail recently?

EDIT: Its not every time. Its random... But it is annoying. Just wanted to see if anybody else got it...?

Not many people use MSN/Hotmail anymore, so I don't know if you'll get any responses. I'm sure it's something on Microsoft's end (usually always is) that they'll fix eventually.

That said, tried Gmail + Pidgin/Digsby/Miranda/etc?

I use hotmail and MSN and haven't noticed any problems. Have you cleared your cookies and temporary internet files? That might just fix it for you.

As for hotmail as a service, its every bit as good as Gmail, Yahoo Mail, or the other major providers IMO.
