Hi everyone

My hotmail a/c seems to have stopped working, can anyone suggest anything?

I type my email address and password, it recognises that fine and goes to the screen where it tells you how many e-mails you have etc, then when I click on 'MAIL' to read them, it doesn't recognise the page. In fact whatever I click on (including HELP or REPORT A BUG) just doesn't work.

But when I got my girlfriend to sign in to her email account on the same computer, it worked fine.

Anyone else experienced this? Have I lost all my emails?

Thanks
:confused:

I could only suggest contacting MS Hotmail support. Having worked with those guys they will do their best to get the account back to normal.. It can happen when accounts get a bit screwed due to a multitude of factors!!

Due to the sheer number of hotmail accounts existing, I'm sure that Hotmail would have a bank of servers to handle all this data. Most probably the server that your account was located was down whilst the server with your girlfriends account was still working.

I have a few hotmail accounts and have found at times that the site won't work for one account but will for another - usually just short term as you have discovered...

FWIW my Hottie account was down yesterday and the day before.

AOK now
