I know you guys have been getting a lot of hotmail threads lately. I looked over them, and none of them seemed to have the information I'm looking for. I'm very sorry if I completely missed one solving my exact problem.
My problem is: I have been using hotmail AND MSN for years now. Just yesterday I had gotten a new email and wanted to check it out. I clicked on the mail button shortcut located on my MSN Messenger buddylist... and it said the page cannoy be displayed. I then tried going to www.msn.com and logging out, then logging back in with that account. It logged in fine. Then I went to "hotmail" through that... and the page cannot be displayed. I thought maybe the service was down, but just incase, I logged into my OTHER MSN hotmail account. I logged in to MSN messenger with that, it said I had an email, I opened up hotmail, and it worked totally fine. I could read all my emails and browse over the page like nothing happened.
But I went back to my other hotmail account and tried again. "The page cannot be displayed."
This is incredibly frusterating. When I log in to MSN Messenger, it comes up with "MSN Today" which also shows your hotmail. It SHOWS the emails I have in there, but when I ever try to access the page to ANY email (also sending email, composing email, inbox, etc...) it "cannot be displayed".
I have absolutely no idea what to do. I have important emails that have been sent to me yesterday and today in that account that I simply CAN'T get to.
I deleted my cookies, history, and so on. I even downloaded mozilla firefox and tried getting to my hotmail account on there. It says "The document contains no data." when I try accessing the website. It has been going on all yesterday and now still today. I thought maybe the problem would be resolved by today but... no luck.
This is truely a mystery to me. I would think it was my firewall or internet settings or SOMETHING... but the fact that I can get my -other- hotmail account right in front of my nose but this one won't load on ANYTHING... That is just boggling.
Please, could anyone help me? I very much appreciate it. Thank you for your time.
I don't have a answer, but one of mine accounts started doing the same thing about 2 days ago. I see around in other forums people saying that also. I have 5 accounts and can get into all of them except one. It does the same thing no matter what computer I use, page not available after signing in.
So, I assume its a problem at msn's end. I filled out the the form to report the problem but I didn't get a answer yet. I have done that before and they always answered, might have been a useless reponse but at least they did answer.
Their entire system has been acting crazy IMO for a long time. I delete mail but it still shows up inbox unless I completely leave an come back, stuff like that. Also, I could always in the past just type in the account name to sign in, and hotmail.com would be added automatic, but lately I have to type it all in.
I hope they get this repaired soon or at least someone find out there is a problem at their end. I don't see how it cannot be though. Since one of my acounts has things I really need to get always, I think I'll forward most of it to another email host, like gmail or something. This is the first time I ever had a problem like this in many years of using hotmail.
