I am an elderly internet novice. I want any system I use to fulfil clear functional needs. I do not want to have to resort to these forae for help with that which should be bleedin' obvious to those who "enhance" their facilities. What idiot saw fit to change an already satisfactory offering to one that is, to me, a useless frustration?

am I the only one for whom the reply menu area that's circled above in red doesn't show up anymore? It used to, I've had no problem using the Live version until about two weeks ago when that reply line wouldn't show up 90% of the time...

"My new hotmail look lost the list - Inbox, Junk, etc. It appears like a shadow and if I am fast enough I can open the box. I replied to "feedback" and as of today, no answer."

Same thing happened to me. I have no Inbox. It only lists Today, Contact List and Calendar! My writing pane only allows me to see 3 lines, so I can't view the whole message that I am composing.

Comment from Rahul on 2008-11-13

I have used hotmail ever since MS acquired it and made it free. Since I changed my ISP and employment several times, a constant personal email address that hotmail offer is a real convenience.

Hotmail changed a few times in this period and I liked the change every time. They have not yet got to change my account yet as they seem to be doing it in stages. I have another account that they converted and I already am liking the new format.

My question to MS is only this - since you can't seem to please every one with changes, why not keep both the versions available and let the user choose what he/she wants? Unless of course, it is a big operational difficulty. After all new features available under changed format will have to be blocked in the old version and so on.... Still worth considering as displeasing an existing customer will add one to the competitor.

- Rahul.

You said it yourself: "it is a big operational difficulty". I'd recommend reading my newer article How can I get the old Windows Live Hotmail back?, where I link to the Microsoft FAQ on the matter. To quote that FAQ from Microsoft: "We can’t provide two fast, secure, reliable experiences, so we have decided to just keep the new version".

- Leo

Dear Leo, I have been using hotmail and it's revisions for almost 9 years. I think this newest version is much cleaner, just as easy to use and haven't missed anything from the previous version. My experience over the years has been quite satisfactory. Ken Purucker

Took me a while to figure out how to mail to groups - you now have to open the group (also pointlessly and longwindedly renamed Categories)name on the address bar which was not required before. It would save everyone inc MS a lot of time and aggravation if they published details of exactly what they've changed before just inflicting them as a test to see how long it takes for us to work it out.

I dislike not being able to view as many entries per page as hitherto and find the deletion of the total number of entries in folders and groups unhelpful. Adding photo thumbnails to every contact just takes up space, necessitating more scrolling. Overall this latest change is costing me a lot of time. I had to repopulate my Favourites list as it had been emptied during the changeover.

I certainly prefer the new look of Windows Live Hotmail. It is faster and more user friendly. One can get access to most of his/her E-mail accounts with one click, something I didn't Know before. Just look at the upper right-hand corner of Hotmail page where one has his name and click on the down arrow to set things up.

I found the newer version of hotmail to be faster whether opening, composing and sending email. Deleting emails seems twice as fast as before.
I also like the new free skydrive feature with 5GB of free storeage space.

I had to chuckle when I saw the question about where the Reply/forward button because I too missed that at first and spent quite a bit of time looking. Glad I wasn't the only one tricked! LOL.

I must apologize. A few minutes ago I sent an email saying that I could not find a Reply or Forward button. Well, these buttons appear when one opens an email to read the message. I used these buttons on the old Hotmail but never gave them much attention until reading the question on forwarding Hotmail email in your informative newsletter.

I looked and looked but cannot find the Reply or Forward buttons. Hotmail FAQ does not have an applicable response.

It's just a guess, Agus (since I don't use HotMail), but judging from the pictures I think you probably need to click "New" (as in, "start a new message") and then compose your E-Mail there. Try that and see what happens to you. Mail clients differ, even from version to version. [Shrug.]

The inbox/junks etc on the RHS of the screen disappear (actually, kind of merge on top of each other) when using IE, but are OK when using firefox.. I did all flash, java etc updates but still no go with IE. You'd think the one browser that 'Hotmail' would work with would be IE!

I too, dislike the new mail system. Before, I merrily hit "forward" and began to fill the line with my "shortcut" nicknames. Now, everytime you enter something in the box, a window opens up below, giving a selection of all addresses containing those letters, and you have to make a selection. Needless to say, it has made a pleasant experience into tedium.

I use Windows Live Hot mail and the new version is much slower than the previous version. They have eliminated the "Check for New Messages" button. When clicking on reply or New there is a delay of between 5 and ten seconds before I can begin typing the to name or my reply. I liked the older version better and I may be forced to use Office Outlook or Windows Mail in its place.
