thank you

There are several articles on this site relating to "why can't I access this website" - I'd point you at those.

How do I set up instant reply to people that email me?

With hotmail you cannot.

I have another hotmail question. I have closed my hotmail account, using the steps you provided actually but the problem is this. I am sending emails via another service to the hotmail account that I've "closed" but they are not bouncing back. How come? What is worse, I can use the closed email and password to acces my MSN page and see the emails that have been sent to my account. How can I close the account entirely or at the very least, in the mean time just have the emails being sent to the closed account bounce back. Thanks so much

You may have closed it, but you kept on using it by logging into MSN with that account. MSN/Hotmail may well take that as a sign you really don't want the account closed. Stop using it.

Mails to closed accounts, or even non-existant accounts, are NOT guaranteed to generate a bounce message. Not getting a bounce doesn't mean anything.

I'm using Outlook to consult my hotmail-account. A few weeks ago, outlook is always asking my hotmail-password. I fill out the right password but unfortunately he never accept. He always comes back to ask the password. I tried everything: delete the account in outlook and then create again. Nothing works. Hower my password is correct because I can consult hotmail via Internet Explorer. Somebody can help me ? Thanks already !

Outlook support for free Hotmail is being turned off. More here: http://ask-leo.com/can_i_use_outlook_express_or_outlook_to_access_my_hotmail_account.html

I was trying everything and getting nowhere. My hotmail account was logging in, but taking half an hour to show me anything. I found your site, but nothing was working... until I played with the numbers. It worked a treat! I had the number '101' and changed it to '23' (on the off chance that that may be a 'special' number) and hey presto, back to normal!

Thankyou!
