    Anyone else having trouble with Hotmail?
    It hasn't let me sign in for a couple of days - after putting in my password it just comes back to the sign in page, or it says "the site you are connecting to isn't part of the passport network".
    Could it be due to having just signed up to Messenger? I only downloaded Messenger due to the Hotmail trouble so it might not be that..

    Mine is ok. Do you have windows messenger running as well as msn messenger? That has caused me problems before- it kept asking me to confirm the wobbly letters picture then said I don't have cookies switched on etc. went round in circles for hours. Then disabled windows messenger (again!) and it worked fine.

    I've just worked out the problem...
    I'd just set privacy on high - changing it back to medium allowed me to get into Hotmail which seems ridiculous!

    Not quite sure why fastmail would be better than either Hotmail or gmail, but it's certainly another option...
    FastMail:
    10 MB storage space
    40 MB bw/month
    IMAP/Web access
    No POP3 access

    Gmail + Mozilla Thunderbird & Mozilla Firefox meet for most of my email and browsing requirements but remember most of the good names have already been taken in Gmail.

    I've had no problem with access, however, I seem to be the only person I know about who still hasn't had their inbox increased from 2MB!

    However, having been recieving a constant supply of spam (straight to the junk mail folder), I've not recieved a single one for about a week now! I've not changed any settings, so maybe things have improved on their side.
