Comments on: Hotmail hit by new round of problems

Hotmail reaches 40 million members, but service hasn't been up to snuff of late. Some users claim to have been shut out for four days.

hotmail and msn problems

I can seem to open any of my hotmail or msn accounts, I get the sign in, and all that appears is by1.byi, or by4by4, its been like this for the past 1 week. Any idea of what that is.

I had the same thing happen. Hotmail worked until Thurs. evening April 9th 2009, then when I tried to log in it said "You do not have an Inbox". This is so frustrating!!

Same problems for me, as well. I have tried to find some way to speed up and/or make Hotmail more reliable for months now. I finally found one. Gmail. Sorry Hotmail. 9 years with you and I've finally had enough.

"Use Hotmail to manage your e-mail accounts
Logging into multiple e-mail accounts every day can be time-consuming. Instead, you can download your Gmail, Yahoo! Mail Plus, or other messages right into folders in your Hotmail inbox. Keep in touch with everybody in one convenient place!
Put your e-mail into one place now. " August 2009

"Come into my parlour," said the spider to the fly...

That is what hotmail promises!
Perhaps it should tweak itself first before making any promises.
I have not been able to access my hotmail account and emails on and off for more than a year now and there is practically no technical support by hotmail!

Should I still live in hope that one day my email account will be back to normal? Or should I switch over to Yahoo where I have not had a problem at all from day 1?

The most recent (9/1/09) Hotmail upgrade was a disaster, and caused hundreds of people to complain about lost emails, hours of upgrade hassles, etc.

The unfortunate thing is that most people may not even realize that many of their emails have been lost.
