has anyone else noticed it becoming a little unreliable lately ? Someone sent me a mail last week and it arrived 2 says later. Had a similar experience with a mail I sent. Am waiting for a message sent by someone 10 mins ago... very odd. Paul

please ignore prev thread, I can't delete it !

cant say ive had any probs!

paul my mum sent me one from her ntl to my hotmail yesterday and i'm still waiting, the cyberspace rellies have it at the moment lol sandra

maybe I'm blacklisted lol

no comment!!!!xxxxxxx(:

i just sent one to myself via outlook & he presto 1 new message in my hotmail inbox! and it wasnt mine ! it was from you Paul LOLOL Elaine x (ps mine still hasnt arrived ! )

That was ages ago that I sent that Elaine :)

I've had three emails returned to me by that DAEMON thingy saying the recipient's server was too busy! Sorry can't remember which one it was, but it was a bleeping nuisance. My brother has quite a few problems email-wise with ntl.

No problems with mine either - working 100%!

Hi Paul... Yes I am having problems with delayed h*otmail. Sometimes arriving two days or more late! Causing probs with my contacts who think I have them blocked...which I don't!! I did send a message to their help people...reply said something to the effect that they are aware of the problem and are working on it - that was about a week ago, but the problem is still there! Mine is a free account by the way. As a side issue....anyone know how/why a totally unknown person has added me to their contact list on MSN? Dee x

I've had a few problems when trying to send mail, they have come back saying they couldnt be sent , even though i know for a fact the email addys are legit and working. Dee, ive had quite a few total strangers asking to be added to my contacts and have no idea how this happens. I usually just click on no.

Iv,e just come across this thread Paul and iv,e been having trouble with h*otmail for quite a while.any thing connected with msn explorer ,or internet explorer seems to be conflicting with each other .I now use mainly outlook express or y*ahoo for e/mail and they seem okay.I,m sure msn will get sorted ,it just seems to be taking a long time is all.fred.

im having the same problem getting my emails too

I can never seem to send to the warm feller - never rejects but doesn't arrive at destination either and that's been for over a year:( David

Just an FYI: Y* ahoo's free e-mail account works a lot better than H* otmail. H* otmail tends to sensor your mail for some reason and there's been no way that I can find to adjust that using the options that they give you. (The reason one won't get mail) Y* ahoo also twice as much mail storage. J

Judy, Good tip, and I have used yahoo in the past, however personally I prefer hotmail. I've not had a problem with mail being censored before, certainly lots of offensive junk makes it's way to the junkmail folder, so if they're censoring, they aren't doing it very effectively ! As for Space; MSN are shortly to upgrade all free hotmail accounts from 2mb to (I think) 250mb. As I say... not had a problem before, it's just that at the moment the odd mail here and there takes a while to deliver. Paul

Though that I was having problems, too, last mail was Sept 6th. sent one to myself this morning and it arrived in seconds......must be no one wants to write to me.....Boo hoo..

got this morning via outlook. it was the mail i sent you the other day paul. This Message was undeliverable due to the following reason: Your message was not delivered because the destination computer was not reachable within the allowed queue period. The amount of time a message is queued before it is returned depends on local configura- tion parameters. Most likely there is a network problem that prevented delivery, but it is also possible that the computer is turned off, or does not have a mail system running right now. Your message was not delivered within 4 days and 0 hours. Host hotmail.com is not responding. The following recipients did not receive this message: (paul)
