Hotmail Problems: Reports of not working and service down

According to a report on Bollywood91 it seems that many Hotmail users are getting frustrated with service problems, these problems have caused some users to be locked out of their accounts for as long as four days.

According to the report MSN Hotmail now has over 40 million active members, however this popularity has caused problems for many free accounts, according to Laura Norman who is the Hotmail product manager the service has recently received a bandwidth upgrade upgrade, however this is said to not be the cause of the down-time and Hotmail are looking into the problem.

    Can’t access my account either.

    For the last couple of days I could not even log in.

    Now I can see my incoming mail, but I still can’t open it.

    A real pain in the a*se.

    I have not been able to even reach the hotmail site on my mobile phone; it gets stuck at “sending request”.

    Attempting to access my MSN hotmail with Outlook 2007.
    I was aware of the end of DAV Protocal and the need to download and install Outlook conector before 9-10-2009
    but still unable to send/recieve new mail after correctly
    peforming download and install of connector. I am able to
    access my mail with the web client but this is not what I
    am paying for. How about a statment to the users and what
    is being done !

    It won’t even load the login page

  8. TCwbys4SSBBW says:

  9. Annoyed says:

    Can’t access my account since yesterday. I thought I was the only one, but apparently, it’s affecting over half a milion users!

    How come Microsoft hasn’t so much as made a statement??

  10. Juan Alberto says:

    Millions as I have, have lost any old emails that were filed on the hotmail server. People are desperate. We all just saved so much information. Apparently, it was the lesser version that deleted all filed emails and attachements!
