hotmail login problems

[kooley]

Is anyone else having login problems with hotmail???

 

[Gentle Ben]

no, other than I tried to set up a new hotmail account and use Outlook Express, error message


'Access to Hotmail via Outlook and Outlook Express now requires a subscription. Please sign up at http://upgrade.msn.com',



sucks big time!

Try Yahoo

Try setting up a Yahoo account. I have found using Yahoo is 100 times more reliable than Hotmail.

can yahoo be used with OE?

No I don't know if yahoo can be used with Outlook express, but it is more reliable for using a web based mail site. I just download the Yahoo toolbar and click on the mail icon and the mail is there (after punching in password etc...).

It is good as I hook up my home email account to it and anywhere I go, like a internet cafe, I can access my home account through Yahoo. Hotmail most times is too busy.

I just tried and couldn't get into Hotmail ... This is an account that I've had for months and checked this afternoon without any problems. Oh well.

I've got several Hotmail accounts and the login problem is spotty. Some accounts no problems, others I have problems, no consistency.

Not that it matters these days. It's all about the GMail
