So frustrated with Hotmail

87 replies

Was wondering earlier why my Hotmail emails weren't sending, and apparently it's being reported that Hotmail's down for loads of users and they don't know when the problem will be sorted.

AIBU to be really frustrated? Angry

Mine is working!

lunamarie · 18/09/2017 18:26

Oh wait

lunamarie · 18/09/2017 18:26

So you can get in, but cannot send or receive emails...??

Ditsy79 · 18/09/2017 18:31

Mine is the same, very annoying. Hope it gets fixed soon

Weedsnseeds1 · 18/09/2017 18:31

Mine hasn't been working since about9.30 am

lunamarie · 18/09/2017 18:31

Off to check if I can send emails

Movingon1611 · 18/09/2017 18:32

Mine stopped working around half 8 ish this morning. It's made for a very trying day- it's all of outlook so my work emails haven't been coming through either

Tissunnyupnorth · 18/09/2017 18:33

I'm receiving emails but everything I send goes into draft! V frustrating as I spent the morning 'sending' emails!

Wakemeuuuup · 18/09/2017 18:33

I can't send either. Thinking about it, I haven't received many either. Mails aren't staying in drafts either, just disappearing

EngTech · 18/09/2017 18:33

Same here but have a back up - Carrier pidgeon or semaphore 😂

Coldilox · 18/09/2017 18:33

My work outlook has been ok today, but haven't received anything in my personal hotmail account since 0910 this morning.

lunamarie · 18/09/2017 18:34

Yep mine send ok AND receives OK.

Must not be everyone then.

Hope it's ok for you all soon.

Coldilox · 18/09/2017 18:34

Come to think of it, work emails are mainly internal, so maybe that's why those were unaffected

Ditsy79 · 18/09/2017 18:36

It is still officially down

DeleteOrDecay · 18/09/2017 18:38

People still use hotmail?

kali110 · 18/09/2017 18:41

Ive been receiving emails all day.

PurpleMinionMummy · 18/09/2017 18:42

Thought it was odd I'd had no emails this afternoon!

AlpacasPackOwls · 18/09/2017 18:42

So frustrating.

As an aside, why would I change email provider? What would be the point? Sort of fed up with all the 'people still use Hotmail?' comments

stella23 · 18/09/2017 18:43

Oh I did wonder what had happened

AutumnGlitterBall · 18/09/2017 18:43

Last email I got was at seven this morning. Even the junk folder claims to have not received anything all day - that's how I know mine isn't working!

juneybean · 18/09/2017 18:44

Oh that explains why I have no junk mail Grin

Heifer · 18/09/2017 18:45

That would explain why I haven't received any this afternoon then - thanks. I thought it was unusual but nothing series, I haven't tried to send any.

MardAsSnails · 18/09/2017 18:48

Both hotmail and eBay account appear hacked today - eBay have suspended my account (not that I use it) because I've apparently reset my password from Poland when They know it's a Middle East based account, and suddenly made my first 20 sales listings in 12 years of the account being active. Good on them for noticing - and when I rang they told me that the password had been reset via my registered email account. They asked me to confirm if it was me, and confirm the approximate time that I did it if it was me.

Sidge · 18/09/2017 18:50

I've had no email all day either. Very frustrating.

peachgreen · 18/09/2017 18:51

As an aside, why would I change email provider?

In all seriousness, and not being snarky, because Hotmail is unreliable with an out of date interface. Gmail never goes down and is much easier to use.
