    Is anybody else having trouble getting into their hotmail account? I try to check my email there and all I get is the operation trying to connect to...has failed. It's been like that for the past 3 days.

    EDIT: I can get into hotmail now. Hubby suggested going through msn as I might have a bad link. Who knew he was so smart? /me gives cookie to hubby

    Easy solution to all Hotmail problems: use something else :D

    I've actually had problems logging into my account for several days in a row on a couple of occasions.

    Agreed, but to use MSN Messenger, Hotmail is a necessary evil...

    IMO *Windows Messenger* is evil...*MSN Messenger* is great for what I use it for...which is basicly to IM friends and send files back and forth. :) :rolling:

    Easy solution to email problems: Get rid of web-based clients and get POP3.

    @Rastor
    The treatment you suggest reminds me one old recipe.
    Foot hurts, cut foot.
    I don't mean to insult or anything. Some e-mail services companies just don't give POP3 access, what one should do if he has an account in them and needs it?

    Every ISP on the planet will sell you a POP3 account for a buck or two a month. It's a non-issue, really.
