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.
As we find out more we will keep you posted, for more information check out Bollywood91’s article here.

I am in that category of not being able to access my hotmail account at the moment. it is most frustrating especially considering im waiting for emails from nvidia and ubisoft regarding issues im having.
not able toaccess my email?
heck
i cant even load the log in page.
Last night I could not log in. This morning I can log in but I am not getting any incoming email. This sucks.
same issues on the hotmail.com email while the hotmail.it is ok.
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
Im on Mac G4 & cant access to my email since 3 days….
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??
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!
