Yeah, Hotmail sucks. It happens to me sometimes.
Maybe is a trouble with cookies or proxys.

Go with Yahoo
I used to use Hotmail but have no left my account to expire after it got to the stage whereby I receive about 100 bits of junk mail every day.
Now I just use my Yahoo account, no junk mail, well, possibly one every three weeks and it ain't about sex, viagra, XXX Britney, buying a house, taking out a loan...etc....etc.....
You get 6Mb with Yahoo, even though it says "up to 4Mb" on the intro screen where you first sign up and their instant messenger lets you leave offline messages.
I had problems with hotmail and trying to go to my account from the pop up windows on the messenger.
No more Hotmail for this little dreemer I'm afraid.

By far the best I've tried is w*w.activatormail.com They never, ever go down. It is as secure as you can get, zero spam, all mail is scanned by F-Secure first.
Unlike M$ they don't share your details with everybody. Check your Hotmail settings and see that nice little box (there's 2 in fact) that gives them your permission to give your details to anyone they damn well like! I would not touch Hotmail any more.

hotmail is the best, because it doesn't use pop3. what's the advantage? you can access your emails from anywhere in the world. When I download my emails from my gmx.net account using outlook, the emails are deleted from the server, so that as soon as I have downloaded them I can't access them any longer from another pc. but with hotmail it's no problem.
what would be nice is outlook based on .NET for free, there is office .NET already, as far as I know, but you have to pay for such accounts.

@php - if you use Outlook to D/L your mail, there is a setting that makes it leave a copy on the server.
Change this and it doesn't delete them:
From the Tools Menu, Choose E Mail Accounts, View Or Change Mail Accounts. Highlight the account you want and click on change. In the "more settings" Advanced tab just tell Outlook how long it should leave the message on the server.

@Oldy:
thanx for the tip. but I think gmx.net leaves the messages just for 30 days anyway, then it deletes them. on hotmail they stay forever, unless they are in the spam folder or there's not enough space left. maybe there are other email server that don't delete emails after 30 days, but I am too lazy to search. anyway, hotmail is fine for me
