On 1-12-06 I had my free hotmail account closed.
I had been accessing it through OE6 and through
their webpage. I thought it was a technical
problem. Hotmail informed me that they had received a few complaints from people and had
closed my account. They reopened the account
today and the account is accessible through both
OE6 and through their webpage. Thanks Hotmail,
Dale

Here are some Tips from MSN Hotmail Technical Support regarding emails:Check your contacts and recipients lits to make sure only the people who want to receive the message will receive it.
- Reduce the number of messages you send to large groups of people so they are less likely to think it is unwanted e-mail.
- Limit the number of chain letters, e-mail jokes, and other messages to help people recognize your e-mail as wanted and to make it more likely to be allowed past your recipients message filters.

I am having problems as well. For the past 3 days every email I receive is going directly into my Trash Folder; Safe list addresses, junk mail, first time writers, EVERYTHING.

Does anyone know a fix for this? MSN doesn't seem to, after 3 frustrating days of email exchanges with them.

I access the web with IE and then webinterface (www.hotmail.com) to get to my email, so it is not an Outlook type problem. There are no problems or changes to my settings either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Normally that's a misbehaving anti-virus program on your end. Try turning it off to see if that makes the problem go away.

Some of my emails come back with FAILURE to deliver - why are some deliverable and others not? Also some of my entries into contacts by
a group are listed with a can not add - I don't understand this either. I am trying to list a committee as a group and have entered the individual addresses but some have that can not add bit. HELP

It *really* depends on the specific failure that's being reported. This article may help some: http://ask-leo.com/why_does_email_bounce.html

Hello Sir/Madam,

I have problem with my hotmail account. It seems that viruses are been send to my relatives and friends from my hotmail account. I would request you to please resolve this problem and block my hotmail account for a while from sending any Spam or viruses email attachments to others.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Nicky

I have no control over your hotmail account, and so can do nothing. I recommend you read this article: http://ask-leo.com/someones_sending_from_my_email_address_how_do_i_stop_them.html

Hi, I am using two pc`s through a netear modem router with AOL as my ISP. I had the problem that only one pc could open hotmail without any problem.
the other one would open ti sometimes, but very slowly,
I lowered my security setting, unchecked HTTP.1.1 and checked Use TLS 1.0.
I can now get straight into hotmail through my AOL browser window,
Thankyou thankyou thankyou

Hi Leo,

I'm having a problem with Internet Explorer;

it always crashes once I've read my Hotmail
e-mail, and tells me a GPF has occurred, right
after it tells me "has found an unknown problem
and has to close"; do you know any way to fix
this?

I don't have anti-virus installed, and
sometimes when I use Ad-Aware it crashes;
I haven't been able to effectively get rid
of mal-ware or spyware on my PC, which is an
Intel 200 MHZ. I'm also on dial-up.

Please let me know if I can fix this without
alot of hassle.

Greg.
