Hi Geno,
I'm not 100% sure we're on the same page (sorry about the confusion) -- are you referring to
e-mail or both mail and Messenger? Or do you mean that you were sending e-mails to your
Hotmail account and waiting for Messenger to show the alert that you got the message?
Assuming the later, which version of Messenger are you using? If you're using Windows
Messenger 5, there is no built-in Hotmail support, and this feature doesn't exist. If you're
using Windows Messenger 4.7, you'll need the MSN Add-in for this feature to work:

If you're using MSN Messenger 5 or MSN Messenger 6, open up the main Messenger window, click
the Tools menu, then Options, then General tab, verify that 'Display alerts when e-mail is
received' is checked and click OK.
If this doesn't explain the problem, can you be more specific, for example, is it just the
e-mail alerts that aren't coming in, or is it instant messaging (from other contacts) too?
If you're seeing any error messages, also include those.
