There does appear to be a problem. I could not get in.

my hotmail through internet explorer is working fine. i prefer ie. when i have accessed hotmail thru netscape the script is also wider than the screen and i have to slide the message back and forth horizontally to read an entire line. not so with my ie.

I can never get in from work, always get in from home. I think it's a corporate firewall thing.

It isn't you, I can't get in today, or last night either.

I have over 2 dozen hotmail accounts that were started over a period of 3 years or so.

The accounts are all stored on different machines, and periodically one server goes down and has to get repaired.

When this happens, people sending mail to whatever accounts were on that machine get their mail "bounced" back, (user unknown).

also- you can't access your "account" either. The machine's down.

This happened to me during the very latter part of the 20th century and I flipped for a few minutes.

hey, you get what you pay for.....
