The Outlook is not good

Since the recent transition from Hotmail to Outlook, emails are now so slow to load, and pages dissapear and reload. I`m using Firefox, so anyone know if there is a fix or is it time to dump Outlook and use A N Other. Heard this is a common problem but cant find any other threads on this.

I'm using Safari and like you since the 'new and improved' change everything is slow, non-functioning or just plain frustrating when using hotmail. I wish they'd just leave things alone, when it works it works...

It's a total disaster area, the team who implemented it need sacking for launching something that was not ready.

I'm an IT simpleton, but appreciate that things are complex, especially on a grand scale and can go wrong. However, when a computing leviathan decides to release a new service (or replacing in this case) you would hope that it would have tested and tested and tested before releasing it to the users. For me so far it's bells and whistles, but no substance

rather than using the web mail portal, just access your Hotmail/Live/Outlook account up from Windows Live Mail
far more satisfactory
