I found a away to get the emails, when it comes up in the buttom right hand corner that u have mail, u cant open it cuz i think it goes to the rong addy. then it "loops" when u try to log in. but if u just go to the hotmail.co.uk website and sign in, then click "mail" u can get to it from there. i can now relax once again. btu its anoying having to do it instead of just clicking. hope this helped...

This has been plaguing me - I'm not sure what to do. I'm betting that it has something to do with the .NET Passport and Hotmail not playing together. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hotmail does not support the .NET Passport you are signed in to. There are two ways you can get to Hotmail:
If you already have a Hotmail account, you can sign out of your .NET Passport and sign in using your Hotmail account.
If you do not have a Hotmail account, you can sign out of your .NET Passport and visit the Hotmail Web site for information or to set up a free account.

Hey.. Whenever I try to change my personal information i.e. my name, in any way, such as changing the letters of my name to Caps and so on, hotmail keeps on telling me my Postal Code is incorrect, when it is 100% correct. I have residency in London, England and it is this address that I have put into my account, but it still refuses to accept my Postal Code. Can Someone please help me!!. Also if it isnt to much trouble email your replys to me.

You need someone to answer questions directly, and not just a general discussion of problems. I have strange symbols turning up in my e mail obscuring the prose. How can this be fixed?

In your case I've not heard of that type of problem before, though based on what little you've said, I would immediately suspect spyware, and suggest you get and run an up-to-date spyware scanner. This article has more on that: http://ask-leo.com/spyware_how_do_i_remove_and_avoid_spyware.html

I am the administrator of a hotmail group. Some of the participants who were able to access the group without problems cannot do it now. When they try to access the group through their hotmail a sign in page appears as if it were the first time. I checked the participants list and they are still there. I sent a new invitation to them, they sign in and they have the same problem again. Can you help?
Thanks a lot

It sounds like the same kinds of problems that are plagueing HotMail users ... I can only recommend the ideas outlined the article.

Several people where I work were telling me that they can't access their Hotmail account. After a little tinkering, I found that unchecking Use HTTP 1.1, checking TLS 1.0, and restarting IE allows me to access the site. I have tried different operating systems and different versions of IE. IE5 worked but when I upgraded to IE6, I no longer had access. Once I made these changes, I could access Hotmail. Don't know if it'll work for everyone, but it worked for me.
