Not that I'm aware of. One of the many reasons I so strongly suggest not keeping all your information in only Hotmail.

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!

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 !

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 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

Someone asked:- when i try to open up anyones my space or my email inbox from my msn messenger page thing...it brings up just a completely blank web page! just a web page with nothing on it at all...i can still access my emails by going to www.hotmail.com and signing in from there..but how can i resolve this ?
Posted by: ... at July 29, 2005 06:52 AM
I had the same problem and found the solution was to tell messenger to "forget me" on the sign in page and then logon again, selecting "remember me" and the issue was fixed. Spent hours of frustration over this for such a "simple" solution!!

Leo,
I have been all over the net including MSN "official" support.
Nobody could help me to retrieve my MSN mail. I was up to 67 unread messages. Everytime I clicked on the emaail icon I would get the page not found error.

finally I read your web page and discovered the problem.............

Per your advise...
"HTTP Version: Some folks have reported that altering the version of HTML that IE uses helps resolve their issue. In IE: Tools, Internet Options Advanced, locate the entry HTTP 1.1 settings and uncheck Use HTTP 1.1. You may have to exit and reload IE for the change to take effect."

Simple setting simple resolution..

BTW I will let MSN struggle with this for a while.

Hi, Leo. When I send an e-mail message, I do not see it automatically in the sent box. I usually have to click a check box which I often forget to do. Is there a way that I can request that my sent messages be retained in the sent box?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: stop using free email services for anything important, especially a business. As you've seen it's much too risky. http://ask-leo.com/are_free_email_services_worth_it.html

Hello Leo, in one day, I am unable to receive emails from people in my contact list. I still get them from business. I've never messed with anything, cuz I don't know how to, until now. I tried changing filters, lowering them, just in HOTMAIL, and it's still not allowing my friends to contact me. Businesses get in, and I emailed myself from Charter and my husbands hotmail acct., got those, but can't get others I used to get a few days ago. Please help!My business depends on it!

Check the entry for your husband in your address book. Also, have your husband email you and try simply replying to it ... if that fails, the problem is more likely on your husband's end.

I cannot send E-mails to my husband address. His address is Tsweeney@njm.com.....when I do send him a message, it comes back undeliverable, but gives the address of Tsweeney@targetlocal. I'm not sure what is happening, but it's pretty frustrating. Any help you can give would be grateful. Thank you

I can't thank you enough for sorting my email problem. One morning I was emailing as usual, but a couple of hours later I could get online but not access Hotmail. I must say I wasn't looking forward to wading through your long list of things to do. Fortunately I picked an easy-looking one to try , the "HTTP Version" Completely amazingly it worked first time when I unchecked "Use HTTP 1.1", and it has worked ever since. Super Fantastic!!!

I had the same reply Jean, but then when i went on to my hotmail this morning, all was fine and dandy. I reckon the problem was with hotmail itself, and not with our computers/accounts.

OK this is response direct from them...let me know if this works...

My name is Jomary and I am responding to your issue as your account freezes while you are trying to access it.

Please disregard the previous message that I have sent to you. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you.

Jean, I understand how frustrating this issue must have been on your part. Our product development team has determined that the current advertisement in the MSN Hotmail interface has caused the issue you are experiencing. They have rectified it so your account should now be working properly.

If you are still experiencing the same issue, please perform the following:

I. Please click your browser's "Refresh" button (or simultaneously press on "Ctrl" and "F5" keys on your keyboard).

II. Clear your browser's cache or temporary Internet files.

1. From the "Tools" menu, select "Internet Options."
2. On the "General" tab, under "Temporary Internet files", click on "Delete Cookies" then click on "OK."
3. Click on "Delete Files". Put a checkmark on the "Delete all offline content" checkbox, and then click on "OK."

III. Set your browser to check for newer versions of stored pages.

1. From the "Tools" menu, select "Internet Options."
2. On the "General" tab, click "Settings."
3. Under "Check for newer versions of stored pages", select "Every visit to the page."
4. Click "OK."

You are a valuable customer to MSN and we are glad to give you consistent and effective service.

Thank you for using MSN Hotmail.

Are others out there experiencing this--Yahoo Groups not talking to MSN and Hotmail accounts. I'm a member of six Yahoo Groups and moderate two. After Yahoo "upgraded" their Group message email services in the last two weeks, I and all other MSN and Hotmail account holders on these sites stopped getting messages or are getting maybe 30%. I wrote Microsoft tech support and they said to contact Yahoo and have Yahoo contact MS to work out the problem. Microsoft may lose many thousands of email accounts over this and tech support is clueless.

I currently have a friend that I have contacted in the past using hotmail over many months but not of recent times. She has been in my Contacts list from the very start of using hotmail. Now when I send her emails I get a notice back from the Postmaster stating that it is not possible to forward the message to her address???
I joined an ISP (Hypermax) some time ago and using the same email address can send and receive emails from her without any problems. I can also send and receive emails from my Hotmail address to my Hypermax address ok BUT not to or from her????!!!!!
How is this possible?? She is not excluded from my contacts list, as previously stated I use to contact her using Hotmail without any problems. It's just now when I try to contact her or she tries to contact me, we both experience no transfers of data! This is very frustrating. Can you advise a possible solution to our problem

Regards
John

It could be all of those things and many others. This article is also a good place to start on that problem: http://ask-leo.com/why_is_my_mail_to_this_person_not_getting_through.html

Unofortunately, unless the mail bounces, I know of no way to get Hotmail to tell you WHY a particular peice of mail is not delivered.

itlooks like i have a new one for you. i have been in contact with msn support several times as well as my isp and so far no answers. im not receiving all e-mails? i can send e-mails to my aapt account from my msn account with no problems and i can reply back to my msn account no worries either, but if i create an new message from outlook express/microsoft outlook or my yahoo account the mail sends (with no mail returned message) but never turns up, if i reply to a message that come from my msn account it turns up imediately. i have been onto aapt's web mail page and sent a test e-mail from there and it worked, i then had 2 friends send test messages from there ends to my msn (2 x yahoo and 1 x pacific.net) and theres haven turned up either.msn said everything is ok from there end and same with aapt, and if its a fault with my pc why cant my other contacts e-mails being received? i hope you can help and i would be a very happy man if so. also is there a way of retreiving 1 of the messages sent ova a week ago as its rather important. sincerly john

Its very very simple,
try this

Run Start
For windows users, type the following command in the run box from start menu in the following order

regsvr32 Softpub.dll

regsvr32 Mssip32.dll

regsvr32 initpki.dll (this take several seconds to complete about 40 secs)

After you're done you should be able to sign in to MSN and hotmail

You want this article: http://ask-leo.com/how_do_i_contact_hotmail_customer_service.html - but I don't think there's any real customer service. It's a free service, and you're getting exactly what you paid for.

The Hotmail address book has nothing to do with what';s on your computer. It's kept on Hotmail servers, and you can access your Hotmail account from any computer.

If your address book (or email) disappears, I know of no way to retreive it. The most common cause is not logging in to your account often enough (once a month, I believe). I've heard of it disappearing for a day or so and then reappearing, but if your contacts or email disappear and remain missing for several days, I don't know of a way to get them back.

This is why I SO STRONGLY recommend that you not use free email accounts for anything important. There is no support.

It's VERY UNLIKELY that your Hotmail is "sending" anything. Hotmail is a service, and highly protected against those kinds of issues. What's more likely is the situation described here: http://ask-leo.com/someones_sending_from_my_email_address_how_do_i_stop_them.html

My hotmail keeps sending viruses to all my contacts. I have run a virus checker on my computer and there is no virus on my computer. So I am assuming the problem lies with my hotmail account. Has anyone else experienced this problem and do you know how to stop my account from sending all these emails and viruses? It happens about 5 or 6 times a day, even when I am logged off or not using the computer. Please help!!!

I am having MULTIPLE problems with hotmail. More than I can list in one email. I'm ready to pack it in and get rid of my account altogether (despite the fact that I've had this address for years). Any suggestions/advice?

My account keeps sending spams without my knowledge to addresses in my contact list.

Here is a response from one of many victims...

Tom,

I keep getting these emails about everyday from your address. They contain files posing as pictures when they are viruses.

"Virus Scan Result: The attachment(s) being forwarded with this message were scanned for viruses using Trend Micro. The following files contained virus(es) that could not be cured:
Attachments001.BHX
Because MSN Hotmail will not send attachments with incurable viruses the files were removed from this message."

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.

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

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.

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 can only suggest contuing to call MSN Billing and insisting that you get the support you're paying for. Hotmail is not known for good support.

Dear Leo.
Please, help me. because I don't know who else could help me.
I have an account with hotmail.com for about 6 years.Last Friday, all of sudden, after I was sending Christams greetings I founded that my "ACCOunt closed. Access denied."
I e-mailed to hotmail service center asking them why it happened and was asking them to help me to reopen my e-mail box. No answer yet.
I was calling billing department (I have an account plus) - they said "Account is o'k. it's open".
Why I have this note- "Account is closed. Access denied."
I opened other e-mail box with hotmail - it's working fine.
Leo, I need to go to my inbox because I have many important e-mails and addresses for my business.
Please, help me what do I need to do?
I e-mailed them today again, but no answer yet.
please, answer me to burenat@yahoo.com
Sincerely, Natalia Travilina

Sounds like a problem with javascript. I would check that your security settings are low enough to allow javascript to run. Or that hotmail has part of your "trusted" domains in Tools, Options, Security.

Hi, Your site seems really useful, and I hope you can help me. I have tried to contact the hotmail help service, but the page shows an error message when I try to send them my question, so I can't get help!
My problem has recently started, but I haven't changed anything.I have just re-formatted and re-loaded everything, but it didn't help.
When I use hotmail, the drop down menus drop down, but they are blank, and it's impossible to select anything. This means that I can't attach files etc. I have tried some of the suggestions on this site, but to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks! Kirsty

Hello Leo, Happy hols!

Here's a bizarre one: I have just settled into a nice new second-hand computer. alas, when I'm in Hotmail I can navigate round my 'site' as per normal but cannot enter my folders... getting a 'Downloading' box [the little folder flying accross, as if I was opening an attachment]instead of passing on to view the contents. I can get into 'manage folders' ok. Also if I press 'send' the same download box appears (but the email is sent!). on 'left-hand-clicking' over the links to the folders the details are java and loads of zeros.
Does this make any sence to you?

Many thanks
Matthew. [mince pie in one hand!]

Fix trash can empty problem in Hotmail.
I found a work around that did work. After trying all the recommended ways, I finally found a way.
Open Hotmail and move all the deleted files into your inbox.
Open Outlook and I have my two accounts in there.
One was my Hotmail account, and the other was my mailbox from my ISP.
Open the Hotmail inbox inside Outlook and drag and drop the lot into your other accounts trash can.
Then delete your other accounts trash and they are all gone.
Dragging them over is a move to command and as such didnt just copy and paste them and leave all the files there.
Post this to anyone you seem fit.

I've done so many things listed in leo site but am too scared now to touch anything again, as it took me 4 days times four hour's just to get all the rest back to working. So here is my problem, I'm using firefox as my web browser, but I had to restore the computer twice, and so I'm fed up with hotmail and the message I always get when I try to log in, and that message is and the problem;"The connection was refused when attempting to contact loginet.passport.com"..It comes up everytime I try to login, plus I've done everything I can to fix it and am at wits end! I can acess my hotmail account from my friends computer but not mine, can anyone help, thank you, Bastion...

A HOTMAIL FIX and MSN Messenger Fix: Took me a while to figure this out. A relative had same problem...on Windows XP. I tried everything you people have tried and more. I set his BIOS so that the CD-ROm drive ran first.then let it go to desktop. I got out the original XP disk...put it in the drive then shut pc off. I made sure I had his XP Product key handy. Started pc back up...XP Setup came up.... I chose an Install of XP... setup to install XP Saving his files...went through the whole process including typing his Product Key info when it asked. End result...it fixed both his MSN Messenger and his Hotmail..works perfect. Hope this helped someone.

If you are having trouble accessing the Hotmail server upon login try accessing another site that requires https protocol. If you have similar problems there you most likely have a corrupted crypto stack.

This can be fixed by running the batch file cryptofix which reregisters the cryptographic services for Windows.

Earlier today, I tried to access my Hotmail account and I received this error message:

Hotmail does not support the .NET Passport you are signed in to.

I had signed in successfully earlier this same day, and nothing was changed in my account -- at least not by me.

The problem happened both in Mozilla and IE. Deleting cookies did not make it go away.

I finally got in like this: on the page with the "Hotmail does not support..." error message, click on the "My MSN" link; on the My MSN page, click on the "Hotmail" link. This made the problem go away -- and BTW, I did this in Mozilla, and right after, I could successfully log in using IE again as well. This suggests to me that whatever the problem is, it is not something on the client side, but rather it is the account or (passport) session information on the server side getting screwed up.

Hope this helps someone!

- Thomas

I am having an issue with my Hotmail account. My Hotmail has not worked at all today. My MSN Messenger works telling me how many messeges I have, but when I click on it, I get a "this page cannot be displayed" page. I also get this if I try to log on directly from the hotmail page. I've also tried logging on through my Outlook Express and that doesn't work either. I had someone else log on from another computer under my user name and password and it worked for them. So I'm not sure why nothing regarding Hotmail is working for me. If you could please respond to my alternate email with what I need to do with this issue, I would appreciate it. I have never had a problem getting my email to work.

This is a strange one: Over the last five days (since the 7th of Oct.), I stopped rec'vg ANY junk mails, which are basically comprised of my messages from 3 mailing lists I belong to and any responses to two items for sale on Craig's List. Since they automatically are deleted after five days, each successive day deleted more and more until today, in which there are no more and I'm not rec'vg any now. I've had this account for YEARS and can't understand this. I've not changed any settings and looked to see if somehow something had been changed. I don't see anything like this. Any ideas?

Another thing to use to get on hotmail is if you have realplayer. Click on realplayer, on the audio player there should be an earth icon on the way right. Click on it and another screen should pop up. on the screen that just popped up click on the web browser icon near the top of the page. The hotmail on my windows xp works through that. If this doesn't work on your computer, you are screwed, or just try what Leo said to do.

Sounds like something bad's happened to your system I would make sure to do an up-to-date scan for spyware and viruses, and then if Windows XP, run the system file checker. These articles both apply:

I have had my hotmail account for several years without too many problems. Recently, however, anytime I try to attach a picture either to an e-mail or IM; my computer totally locks up. control+alt+delete won't even work. I literally have to pull the plug and reboot to escape. I havent changed anything on my end. Any suggestions?
Also, is there a way to export my contacts list to another web-based e-mail account that I have? Then I could just send messages with that account and bypass the whole problem

if you have MSN Messenger with a free HotMail account, if you can ---- access your contacts list thru the *MSN Messenger window headings* then

my advise would be to export your contacts list to another account ( say a Free Yahoo account, address book )

or do it manually eg; * swipe * --HiLight your list then click COPY then Paste to notepad, [not M.S Word] then rename the notepad to Hotmail Contacts or something similar so you can find it again

-- then save that somewhere you remember, [or even on the Desktop]

so you can still get back to your Hotmail friends ETC: thru another account

((( Just in case HotMail does shut you out altogether ))) & filthy rich Microsoft want you to PAY for yet another of their services

it may take a bit of editing in notepad ( it just depends on what you have named each email address )

but, by doing it that way doesn`t loose all your Hotmail Contacts

below are some free web based ones

G Mail ( Beta) has over 2626.880 Mb of storage
www.runbox.com/
FastMail.FM
address.com
aussiemail.com.au
bluebottle.com
boardermail.com
bolt.com
canada.com
animail.net
moose-mail.com
snail-mail.net
whale-mail.com
wildmail.com
cashette.com
centralpets.com
dbzmail.com

& many many more -- guess we don`t have to stick to Hotmail ever again

I have been waiting for two very important mails and one not so. When I contacted the senders all said they had sent and would resend. Not received first or second emails but strange I can send emails which get through. What is going on with Hotmail, there is no helpline contact so no way of finding out the problem. What are we supposed to do, wonder if anyone can help.

Well, Hotmail is a free service, so as for customer service, which I agree is pretty much non-existant, you're getting pretty much what you pay for. More on that here: http://ask-leo.com/are_free_email_services_worth_it.html

The most common cause for email not reachine its destination is spam filtering on the recieving side. That will often cause email to disappear silently. More on that here: http://ask-leo.com/why_is_my_mail_to_this_person_not_getting_through.html

I am having problems sending and receiving e-mails. Sometimes they never get there and I do not get a postmaster e-mail either. Hotmail is very inconsistent. Also, sometimes I do not receive them. This is very frustrating and unprofessional. Plus, I cannot contact MSN? Why does this company exist? How can they advertise a service and not follow thru? I am ready to contact the Better Business Bureaugh and state my complaint and oppinion about hotmail.
Please respond.

Okay, I'm having the same trouble as you. I am still able to get onto the MSN page though, and then onto 'my MSN' page. From there you can see your hotmail in-box list (or add your in box list to the page as an option). as you highlight a title with your cursor, copy the link, paste it onto the bar and edit the number as suggested before (mine is 110 aswell, I changed it to 21). When you get in, select any of your e-mails and save it to favourites/bookmarks. Next time you log in via the hotmail page, when there's that horrible pause, click on favourites and go to your email link. It should get you back in. It's worth printing off your contact list the first time you get back in just in case. Thanks to everyone for their comments, makes me feel I am not alone in this.

Dear Leo, I am an amateur on the computer and often get myself into unknown territory so I hesitate to try some of your suggestions above. To tell you the truth I don't even know how the heck I ever started Hotmail. To my recolection I replied to a link and I was not able to send it no matter what I tried. I must have ended up giving my user name and password? Today I did the same and when I tried to send the mail I was asked for my Hotmail info which I have been unsuccessful in completing. The very extensive e-mail is long gone and I have called everyone with no success. Can you comment how this can happen? Could I possibly remember this correctly? Thanks.

I resolved the issue of page not found when trying to access hotmail by doing the following:

Enable the TLS 1.0 protocol

In Internet Explorer:
Tools, Internet Options, Advanced

Under Security, check on Use TLS 1.0

Hope this helps, don't know why MSN doesn't advertise this simple fix. TLS never used to be an available protocol, Microsoft added it so....

Good Luck!

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.

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
Mara

Michael: it takes a lot more information to be more complete. Please have a look at this article: http://ask-leo.com/why_cant_you_give_a_straight_answer.html

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

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?

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.

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.

Dennis

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.

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...

Interesting, since deleting cookies is, in fact, one of the solutions mentioned in the article.

If anyone is experancing this error when you TRY to log into your email via MSN Messanger... I HAVE YOUR SOLUTION!!

"Hotmail does not support the .NET Passport you are signed in to."

Here are the directions for those of you who are not computer savey (in laymens terms, you are clearing your cookies)

Open up the Internet Explorer... Look at the VERY top area... (file, edit, view. etc...) Select TOOLS

Look in the drop down window for INTERNET PROPERTIES

In the center of the Page select DELETE COOKIES.. this may take a couple of minutes to complete.. be patient it will!!!

Once you are done with this.. Close the Internet Explorer.. and sign into MSN and try!!!

I had the SAME problem.. Some of my accounts would work OTHERS wouldnt!!!! THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM.. the other solutions that were on this website were "Silly"!!

Also Please note.. there is a "work around" If you can log into ANY hotmail email.. (other than the one you are having problems with) You can SIGNOUT, and it will eventually bring you to the sign on page... Enter in your information and it WILL WORK!! This is the only way to get it to work, if this is the problem!!!

How to get to Hotmail

I've been trying for 2 days to get into my hotmail. I keep getting this message: "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." I've tried this a million times. It does not work. I can log into MSN Messenger but cannot access my hotmail. I can loggon at http://sympatico.my.msn.com/ and view my email inbox but when I try to access it I get the same message ""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." I really need to retrieve some emails since I've applied for several jobs using an Hotmail address; I KNOW, NEVER use hotmail for important stuff.... I've learn my lesson. Thanks.

As many people have the capacity of 250MB for their hotmail, however, I only have 2MB. Please advise how could I upgrade from 2MB to 250MB. Thank you.

Cynthia: ultimately, you can't. The best you can do is, depending on your mail client, set up a rule to automatically delete email coming from those addresses.

Nothing had changed on my system but I kept getting an error about cookies being disabled (this went on for several days). I tried all of your suggestions. Finally, your notes about playing with the numbers achieved results.

The initial hotmail login is:
http://login.passport.net/uilogin.srf?id=2

I changed the id to 18 (10 was for a .net member login and 23 wasn't valid), input my login info and clicked 'sign in'. Everything worked. And it seems to have reset whatever wasn't working because on subsequent logins, I didn't have to change the number value for id=

I dont know if it is becaue Im travelling but I havent been able to enter my hotmail for a week now (since the end of April 2005) Maybe its because of dodgy internet cafes in the south america but im really worried someone has hijacked my account. It just goes to a blank screen after logging on. I also bought the $15 package to try to fix this but to no avail. I really need to check my mails and am getting very annoyed. Is anyone else expeeriencing similar problems at the moment?

Cheers

But since you have helped me i will help you follow these steps....it works (first back up your system state)

1. my computer
2.tools
3.folder options
4.view.
5. show all files and folders
6. right click on start
7. explore
8. windows
9. the blue folders are the updates, find the ones in early april there should be 5 keep the ones listed below Group by date to sort them out) (the reason I only listed four is because I deleted the right one first up and forgot to write it down so these should be the four remaining updates that came early april that wont affect your computer!!!!!)
kb890859$
kb893086$
kb890923$
kb893066$
the other blue folders are the hotfix ones that came on your sp2 cd (15 of them)
10. Once you have located the correct blue folder( the one not mentioned above) open it then click on the folder spuninst, then click on the little tv one that says windows sevice pack uninstall and it will allow you to uninstall that terrible update!!!!!
11. and yes I have found a way to uninstall those new updates (you can only uninstall them from the hidden folders not from the software distribution folder) because I am the amateur computer expert ha ha ha who will one day crash his computer again... but thats the only way to learn
cheers cosie
12. p.s turn off automatic updates before you go back on the net!!!!!!
13. restore default folder options
14. this works but becareful remember to back up before you start...

Normally as long as you don't select any newsletters, and hit "Continue" at the bottom of the screen, you shouldn't see it again. You may need to have cookies enabled for that to "stick".
