Hi Everyone:

Periodically, when I take longer than usual to compose an email and then
click 'send,' it takes me back to the 'sign-in' page where I have to sign-in
again. It takes me to my inbox and my 'composed message' is lost.

Is there a time limit on how long I can take to compose a message before my
account is 'timed'-out?'

HOW TO Optimize IE for Windows Live Hotmail (27 May 2008)

"Windows Explorer 7"); the IE7 section applies to IE8]

Good for you. Now see the IE7 section of that page.

Thanks. I optimized IE8 but I still do not understand why hotmail took me
back to the sign-in page when I clicked 'Send' and why I lost the composed
message.
