I’ve been unable to access hotmail this morning. Anyone else having this problem?
My Yahoo mail is working fine, however.
I Must Be Dreaming 
Hmm, my Gmail is working just fine…
Can’t get into hotmail either, just get a blank screen.
Yes, it appears the hotmail server is down since last night.
its been down for me 5 days now really upset with hotmail
Can’t get in either – Get “service Unavailable” message
All other sites fine – Hotmail has been dogging for days…..
For a few days now mail is not available on hotmail. Nothing more that I know about this topic. Its the first time in those many years that I’ve been with hotmail. Would have thought they could fix something as big as hotmail in time pronto.
lol microsoft busted again 😛
I’ve been considering changing to a different email service for a while because of ongoing crap like this. AND with no consideration for customers who may appreciate just a brief explanation! Today just cinched it for me. Stupid Hotmail.
i could care less when i get my mail any other time, but the 1 time i need to check it before going to work, it is shut down. W T F!!!!!!
you get what you pay for
any ideas when it will be back up?? I really need to check my email!!
everybody move to yahoo or gmail. Give’em a lesson.
This is crazy! I have a job interview today and need to get the info from the email!
This is ridiculous! Hotmail has been down for hours! What the hell is going on again!!!
I need to get information off of hotmail today but it is down!!! Ive never been upset with hotmail b4 tho…
Psshhh….GMail, here I come! @#$%!!!!
Seriously, if anyone finds an estimated resolution time, please share it here. I will do the same.
What is going on? Does anyone know?
Hotmail sucks. I need something off my account today! Thanks MSN.
I have had hotmail since 1997. I have my illustration site connected to it for my e-mail. I need to get scans from my clients and now I am a bit screwed.
Seems the servers that handle mobile mail for cell phones is also having issues. Not been able to connect for 2 days. I was able to login from my PC early this morning but now it’s down. Bummer.
A few times I have gotten to the sign in screen but after that nothing.
Down again. Not even an error page. Not even an unresolved error message. Can’t access it via my laptop nor my mobile device. Reminds me that you never now what ya got, till it’s gone. It’s like having the greatest girlfriend in the world, with great sex anytime you like, except for the time she goes completely crazy three or four times a year, and you just need to wait it out… 😉
any ideas what is going on? Can’t go to work because my clients all email when they need me, hope I don’t loose my job. This sucks.
If your job depends on hotmail, or any other public email system for that matter, it was a bad choice. Hotmail is, perhaps, the worst choice for business related systems because it’s known the world over to be the single largest spamming system. It’s catagorically blocked on many company email systems.
Glad to know it isn’t just me. This is annoying.
I definetely wouldn’t make my job dependent on hotmail.
This really isn’t a serious account-hoster and I would never create a professional account on it.
Any update on when Hotmail is likely to resurface?!!!!
Maybe before the end of the week?
I was wrong. It’s up now.
Still not up, I really need to get into my mail. I have to switch to a different email, any suggestions?
The spam is blocked to the point where I only receive from my clients. I have found hotmail to be great.
Hurry and check your email while ya can – mine’s up again! Yippeeee…….
Mine is still down
I had it for a second. Down again.
My mail is retrievable on my phone, but not on my computer. Keeps telling me MSN premium is RETRYING to sign me in.
The funniest thing about this is that I posted about it over a month ago. Evidently hotmail’s having serious problems today–over 600 hits to this post TODAY.
All: There are PLENTY of free email services out there including hotmail: gmail, yahoo mail, etc. Why restrict yourself to just one? I have 4 separate email accounts that my friends all know, and many of them do as well. Just attach all of someone’s different addresses to their profile in your “contacts” folders, and they should get a copy in each service when it’s really important.
Hotmail is making me crazy… What is the problem? It’s been down all day!!!!!!!!!!! It is time to let them stay down and switch to another service.
now i get a message that says “service unavailable” what is that? unavailable. Did someone pull the plug on the MSN server?
WTF another moment brought to you by microscam
LMAO!! Glad its not only me HA HA HA!!
That Microsoft can not put up a simple splash screen apologizing for the outage and giving some kind of explanation goes to the heart of what is wrong with them. Horrendous Service.
Time to buy a Mac with open office and a gmail account.
Oh ya that’ll work
Still down……… Servers burned down? It’s not only hotmail, but also Live Messenger…….
Everything is okay now… I still have Yahoo and Gmail
Now 1,334 hits on this post today.
Y’all might read something else here if you choose. *chuckle*
I wish I could work for microsoft than I could irritate millions every day!! HA HA HA
Hello al my new friends!!!
all working again!!!!!!!!
And they want to buy Yahoo so they can screw more millions of users.
i’m in
I one of the people who pay for Hotmail (I do not use the free service), so I am a little disturbed by the problems. That said, they are better than many other ISP e-mail servers – and I don’t want to crawl to MSN!!!
I wish they had some way of announcing what is happening – help line -especially is one is paying
I was able to get in finally, check your emails… 9:25am PST
Hey, what is everyone’s email address? maybe we can send stuff to each other HA HA HA
What a disgrace. I have all down bacause hotmail!. PLEASE GIVE ME A BREAK!
It is still down… 930am CA time
It’s been down for me all day. Sometimes I can get to the login page, sometimes I get a time out error (browser-side). Lately I’ve been getting a big bold “Service Unavailable” when I attempt to access the login page. I guess I’ll have to use my gmail account today. I was really hoping to get my email this morning.
This is actually better than hotmail…. who wants to be my new friend???
I still found it down 😦
Any news?
Heh. I just made some forums yesterday, but haven’t opened them yet. lol
Oh, well. Smoke ’em if you got ’em.
Can’t belive this sh!t… I was actually being offered a job this morning and I needed to retrieve a saved resume in my Hotmail… BUT GUESS WHAT!!! SERVICE UNAVAILABLE… Ugggg…
Mine is back.
this is rediculious, to think we make them millions by just looking at the retarded ads on our screen, I’m switching to guico…. even though they arent an email provider they are probably still much much better. :p
I’m glad it’s not just me. It’s not pressing that I use Hotmail right now, but I am waiting on an informative e-mail that’s semi-urgent, so this is still an inconvenience. On one hand, it’s free, on the other hand, it’s still annoying.
And yes, I suggest keeping more than one e-mail account. I have one thru AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, and Hotmail. Of course, AOL is being obnoxious in shutting down accounts randomly for bogus “TOS violations”, so I said to hell with them.
Still down. Hotmail and Live messenger.
Its up
I just logged in
Back on messenger but Hotmail still down (17:47 GMT) and has been from around 15:00. Trying to flat hunt too, just my luck.
IM IN! THANK GOD!
login page is now back up, but still can’t get to any of my accounts
maybe everyone is checking to see if it’s back up & that crashed the server again
yep mine still down. The hotmail I could care less about but my gas service uses the windows live login to access and can’t get to that either because I can’t log in….
I understand down time but for a company Microsoft’s size, it should never been as long as this has been….
I am so frustrated. Haven’t checked email in 3 days and I really need to see what’s going on in my life. This is worse than an electrical blackout
Well this is the last straw. If any of you Microsoft SOB’s are reading this, I am abandoning my hotmail account. This has happened a handful of times over my long term hotmail patronage, and I simply cannot have this happen again. I now have the pain in the ass task of creating a gmail account and notifying everyone i know to update their address books. Thanks alot Bill Gates, you f’ing terd…
crap crap crap….it’s just teasing me!….it’s up then down…..
I don’t care what you say about it being free. It is still a SERVICE that they are offering (which they do profit from, by the way!) so they should at the very least communicate issues to customers.
does anyone know when msn/hotmail is likely to come back online?? really wanna know, cheers
Currently down again. It seems to come in spurts. Might not be the servers at all. Could be a fault router or other Internet releated issue.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m no M$ fan but don’t want to make false assumptions either.
i have never had a problem with hotmail b4. i have had the email address for over 10 yrs!!!!
This is bizarre. I have two hotmail accounts and two hotmail users at home. One, mine is on IE 7. One, my roomates, is on firefox. I get in on firefox not problem. Both accounts are set up to straight to mail and stay signed in. IE7 says unavailable. Hotmail is in the with record speed. Its like hotmail on speed.
Anyone else having this problem with them today?
This marks 10 years for me as well with the same address. But it’s not the first and certainly won’t be the last time the service is unavailable.
if xtube goes down i am moving to sierra leone
I am getting a huge login screen, their servers must be getting pinged out of hell
Hmmm… I was able to get in just now. Although, according to some of the previous posts, it looks like there’s been several “false hopes” this morning.
once you get in do not log out… or you’ll be back to waiting
Still can’t log-on – SERVICE UNAVILABLE
if xtube goes down i am moving to sierra leone
lmao
Still no hotmail. No access since lunchtime? I’m pleased i am not the only one!
It’s up!!! Sorry for posting that comment so close to the xtube thread, but hey it works both ways.
I was supposed to get the info on recieving 1million dollars! today was the last day from my client our contract expired at 10:00 am now I am screwd, and lost 1 million dollars!!!!!!! thanks a lot hotmail you a holes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now I dont know if I can even pay my rent! I hate you!
who trusts free email for $1 million deals? Just asking.
I like you, boredwithouthotmail. You’re funny.
And that racist remark is getting deleted in about 2 seconds.
“I was supposed to get the info on recieving 1million dollars! today was the last day from my client our contract expired at 10:00 am now I am screwd, and lost 1 million dollars!!!!!!! thanks a lot hotmail you a holes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now I dont know if I can even pay my rent!

omgz jill, that was funny as heck.
Oh well. Looks like I’ll just have to go and cook dinner instead.
Jill’s working on $1M deals and rents? Hmmm.. Interesting. lol

mail.yahoo.com
Okay guys, I’m back (miss me)?
I got into hotmail and I still can’t find a damn job!!
I was looking for one of those $1 M deal emails, too, and couldn’t find it.
Jamie, you and your partner are alright w/ me, but what racist post are you referring to? Sierra Leone?
try going here to sign in and then clicking hotmail at the top of the page: https://login.live.com/
Aw, come on everybody. I used to work for a big DSL service provider. Shit happens. When it did, I had to deal with people that made noises like you. Meanwhile the technicians were technicianing away as fast as they could You can’t get around the fact that we still live in a universe where shit happens and it takes time to fix it. Even if you are PAYING. Sorry.
It IS a big pain (I’m only here because I googled to see what other people thought) but it ought to make everyone think about the fact that we are all leaving huge portions of our BRAINS on other people’s servers.
If you don’t want to lose it, put it in a sock and hide it under your bed.
Jaded ex-tech support worker.
And by the way, I still can’t CHECK MY HOTMAIL!!!
Usually it works. I have two other onlline e-mail addresses, but still. I hope the technicians aren’t all drunk, or something.
First time I got it to work was when I signed in to webmessenger and clicked on mail…
By the way, there’s no point checking, you are probably not receiving new emails. I tried sending myself one to check, didn’t work at all.
Jamie, you and your partner are alright w/ me, but what racist post are you referring to? Sierra Leone?
No, sorry, I should’ve made that clearer. There was a post directly after yours where someone used the N word, and I deleted it. My bad for being unclear.
My bad, it’s just delayed… it’s working.
Ok, doubting it’s a server related issue now. Try doing a traceroute from dnsstuff.com and you’ll see the route is full of errors. Bummer.
this is so retarted! I have work to do… UGH Microsoft is horrible so many problems, im gonna buy a mac, and get a .mac account
ummmm, what the N word? Just curious. Is that the word that has an “o” next?
I’m not using windoze but still can’t get to hotmail. A Mac won’t fix it.
Did someone actually try http://mail.live.com as I had suggested? Or is it only working for me…
i just sent myself an e-mail and it worked just fine….sorry you guys still can’t log in….
It is 19:16 GMT (London, UK) and hotmail still aint working…!!!
im sure its gotta be close to 3/4 am in america?
has it been down all day.
long live micro$hit eh?? bloody hell!
The point is that there trying to fix it, but they shoulda at least showed something telling us.. O well they are trying to fix the servers thats probably why only some of you are getting in as only some servers are starting to work.
it’s 1:24 CMT US
Davyu – I tried the http://mail.live.com route and it didn’t work for me.
still down for me 😦

I finally got in around 1 or 1:30 p.m. EST, but then it crapped out again. I said I needed to read a semi-important e-mail earlier, then I forgot to write down the pertinent information. Silly me.
It’s down again!!!
“Damn, damn, damn!”

My hotmail is still not working at 19.54 it has been down all day. It is getting really frustrating
down again
mine is still down, been down alll day,
I have got in through msn.co.uk
Mine is working but it is acting crazy.
The news is starting to hit the wires…AP, Reuters, etc…it’s worldwide in scope.
I wonder if they got attacked. And ominously, there has been mention of deleted new and saved messages from inboxes…yikes! I KNEW I should have backed up my stuff! I know better. Pure speculation: perhaps some Russian hacks were paid by Google goons to mess up the potential merger?
I have just realised I am on an american site due to the time of the posting – I am in the UK. Try msn.co.uk as I usually get in through msn.com with my hotmail.com e-mail address.
it is back
i tried to uk site, couldnt get in through there either, this is like the beginning of that movie, die hard, the latest one, first hotmail, and next the stock market
Hey everyone,I’ve been using hotmail for quite sometime now. I pay for the service because it is the only part of my contact information that never changes and it is convenient because it is web based. That said, I don’t like the idea of changing to a different service.
But I do have one question for anyone out there who might have a good answer: Is there anyway to archive your old messages from hotmail and at least save them to a separate folder for storage on your hard drive ?? I also recently started using Thunderbird to send and receive e-mail (thru my hotmail account) when I’m at home. I would appreciate any useful suggestions or information. Thanks. Have a good day and I hope hotmail is up and working again soon…
If you get logged in, just stay there. Seems to be logging in that causes the most trouble. I’ve been in for over an hour now and can read and write mail. If I try on another machine, I have trouble getting logged in.
So just STAY there if you get in.
This is hilarious — previous post by someone else, tried to access hotmail via Firefox and could. Couldn’t send, though, or at least I just copied and pasted into yahoo due to boredom, waiting.
You know, if I sold adspace I’d have made a bundle today on this thread alone.
Come on, we all know Microsoft sucks!
Back to normal. Till the next crisis.
Hey Juiianyway, seriously… I really was wondering if there was anyone out there that could clue me in to a good way to archive and store old messages instead of leaving them on some one else’s server. Everything I said in the previous post was factual, just wonderin’ why you found it hilarious? –you can connect to POP accounts on hotmail if you pay for the upgrade. It doesn’t cost that much and is real convenient, especially when traveling a lot…
I was just curious also if anyone out there knew what caused the problem with hotmail today? –Believe it or not I’m just getting my internet connection back and haven’t been able to check around. It seems the Telecable servers down here took a crap today as well. It was a double WTF for me today, and I had to wonder if I was simply going crazy…
I have been down for several days now….April 18-20….Is anyone having the same problem?
My hot mail is down. I keep going to mywebsearch. Is anyone else having this problem?
Hot mail is only partially working. I can log in. i can even send a test email to my paid account, but any emails to my hotmail account from my paid acount are rejected.
The short story is that even if it appears to be working, you are probably not getting all of your mail.
I really need to contact someone on hotmail – suck for me (and the million dollars I lost LOL)
Oh well – forgot to mention. Million dollar deals are easy to find on hotmail. I have someone contact me at least once a week about a wealthy deceased realtive or some multi-million miss-allocated funds they need help with. I’m a millionaire many times over. If this ever clears up, I can just sit back and wait for the money to start pouring in… I’ll be laughing all the way to the bank LROL!
I know this topic was brought up a month ago, but Hotmail is still down for me. Am I alone in this? When I go to Hotmail.com, it struggles to load the page. It stays on a black screen but is static in loading.
We’ve recently moved house and for the first few weeks we didn’t have an internet connection so I don’t know if it didn’t work then. Now, we’ve been online for a fortnight or so, it’s worked a bit through then but over the last week I haven’t been able to get on at all. Once or twice, if I have left it loading long enough, it comes up with the hotmail sing in page but instead of being able to sing in, a message comes up in red saying something like, ‘we’re down at the moment, come back later’. Unfortunately, ‘later’ has been every few hours for a week. It’s starting to get irritating. Am I the only one experiencing this problem at the moment, or are others as infuriated with hotmail as I am?
Yes, apparently it is down. It worked fine yesterday, and this morning.
Yeah, I can’t get on hotmail either.
Also, I have no luck on with Yahoo or Gmail.
Anyone else?
Is Hotmail down? All I get is a blank screen?
hotmail and ebay cone fo me
