Think yourself lucky anyway! :-) About two years ago Hotmail changed something that subsequently prevented me from accessing my inbox at all, even though I could log in and see/change my *account* details! I just had to give up on them and move to Yahoo; which was a bit of a pain because for some years I'd used Hotmail as my normal address where I needed webmail for "serious" stuff.

One thing that definitely kills Hotmail is Kerio Firewall with the web filtering option turned on. I managed to figure this out, but it had me puzzled for a while. So it doesn't take much to cause problems. --

You must have jinxed me :-) Now I have similar problems that I can't get around. After my Hotmail suddenly chopped off the right hand side of my text viewing pane and screwed up attached images (in 800 x 600 mode viewing) I can only agree with you that MS have totally stuffed up this service using standard browsers. However, there is an easy fix. Download and use the latest version of Mozilla Thunderbird. Just enter the Hotmail email address and password when setting it up, and it picks up the Hotmail service straight off. Works bloody brilliantly. Goodbye MS Live and your damned advertising rubbish.
