Hotmail

**Leeza** · 07-23-2005, 07:07 AM

Does anyone here use Hotmail besides me? Yesterday, everything in my folders got wiped out and now I can't even log in. Has anyone noticed anything, or do I have some sort of bug in my computer?

well i now that hotmail is working perfectly fine so you probably have a bug on your computer. That happens to me sometimes, try re-installing it. Or just wait a while before you try logging in again.

I haven't noticed anything of the like

Re-installing Hotmail? Hotmail isn't installed and I don't want to change my address. I've run Spybot and Adaware and they didn't pick up anything. My Messanger works just fine though.

It is MSNs fault. I run a MSN group and I have found alot of bugs and stuff dissapearing from it........lol

Hmm...I checked mine and it was okay.

I'm assuming you've logged in recently, so....hmm. When you try to log in, does it give you any options, or what does it say?

When I try to log in, it loads exactly half way and then times out.

Are you connecting to hotmail using a web browser or an email client?

Bizarre -- if you are using the webpage, try a client (unfortunately I think outlook is the only one that supports hotmail). If you are using the client, try the webpage.

I just log in from http://hotmail.com, or I go through the MSN homepage that I have at work. I don't use Outlook. I guess this is the time where I switch to gmail fulltime, but I would like to know what's happening. Because if it is a bug I'd like to know so that I can reformat (yet again) as a last resort.

Hotmail has actually stopped access to the server through any client including Outlook. You can set up the account but it tells you that you are unauthorised to access it.

Leeza : If it was a bug, it'd most likely affect more than just the hotmail site. It's possible that your cookies are messed up.

Try emptying the cookies/cache and try again. If that doesn't work then I'm sorry I couldn't have been much more help ;(

Thanks anyway, Lenna, but I did clear out all cache/cookies and it didn't help.

**Lenna** · 07-23-2005, 04:33 PM

Sorry I can't be of more help then hun ;(

Try this link: http://login.passport.net/uilogin.srf?lc=1036&id=2 (that's the page http://www.hotmail.com redirects me to)
It might display parts of the page in French, but the layout stays the same. At any rate, I just connected, and my folders are fine.

**Samuraid** · 07-23-2005, 07:14 PM

See if a login at www.passport.com works (similar to what Endless said, but more generic). If it does, try then going to hotmail and you should stay logged in.

EDIT: That is funny, I'm logged in but I can't log out now. The logout page loads, but I'm still logged in...even after CTRL+F5. :rolleyes2
