FWIW, MSN/Hotmail has had reliability issues and OODLES of intermittent,
random server-side problems for as long as it's been in existence -
something gets changed or breaks on the server, tons of folks all start
having problems that just don't seem to have an explanation, MANY of these
folks get on here, posting loads of messages, all with the same, or similar
problems and ALL of them are (QUITE justifiably) darned unhappy. Whatever
it was gets fixed on the servers some days later and everything goes back to
normal (if there is such a thing for Hotmail). I'm sorry you're hiving
problems, but most probably, its NOT on your end, NOT your installation, NOT
your setups or configuration, nothing within your control. These problems
usually magically fix themselves with never a word being said by those
responsible, either for the error or the fix. Reliable, accurate help with
Hotmail/MSN issues is, therefore, often difficult, if not impossible to
provide here, though a good many folks are, and will always be, more than
willing to try.
