I cannot get my hotmail emails to open. I have had this problem for three days now. I have no idea why my mail will not open up. I have clicked it to open and double clicked too. It just will not open. Is anyone else having this problem? Alot of my mail is getting blocked there now too. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue?

Are you using the hotmail website or going through a email program like Outlook?

I am using the hotmail website. It finally loaded but it has been blocking my mail and messing up for three days now.

I don't use the hotmail site often, but i have a few times in the last week with no problems. Are you using the traditional hotmail look or the windows live version?
Have you thought about using Outlook for your messages?

I'm not really sure which version I am using but everything seems to be back to normal now. I guess they were just doing some updates or upgrades there. Thanks for your help though. I appreciate it.

I wish mine was working fine still. It just started doing this in the last few days. I hope to get it fixed or figured out soon.

I use to use hotmail but it gave me too many issues. I have Yahoo and AOL now. I've has AOL for about 13 years and I never had problems. BUT I will admit I do run into problems with AOL when using it through my web browser and not the actual AOL program itself. Maybe its the same with hotmail? I'm not sure how that works. But it sucks. Sorry you have to go through that. Hope you get in there soon!

I use different email accounts also. I never had a problem with hotmail until now. I don't know what they have done but now they are blocking my incoming emails and not letting me open the ones that are there. It finally let me read them while ago but it has been doing the same thing for three days now.

I can get the hotmail website to load and my emails there but it will not let me open them up. They are blocking my emails from coming in there also. It was fine until the last few days. I have used it for years.

I have gmail, hotmail, my regular email and an AOL email address also. Hotmail was fine up until the last few days. Now it is giving me fits.

Really? I have had this problem for three days now. I finally got it to open but it took forever. They are blocking alot of my mail now also and not letting it come through to me.

I don't use hotmail, I used to years ago, but I stopped when I got my present cable/Internet service and I just use that email since I pay for it in the bill, I figured I should just use it.

well,I heard a few other people have the same problem.I don't have hotmail,i use yahoo,and I had that problem the other day.now everything's fine.If you can't get your mail to open,an error message should've alerted you that there is a problem and the error have been reported to the admin.Also,about the blocked mail,you should add the email addresses to the safelist or whitelist or whatever hotmail calls it so important mail won't get blocked.you can go to your email account and edit preferences.I hope this helps.

No problem right now. I usually use mail.com and sometimes have a hard time getting in but I think most of these times are due to maintenance or server overload. Be patient.
