Was done a week back (I'm a Hotmail Plus user), and it's a lot worse than it was earlier.

If there was a way to go back to the simple hotmail (GMail has that option), I'd definitely opt for it. I somehow get a feeling that it has been made to work properly only in Internet Explorer, although when I login to my account I get this message.

Funny, I am using Firefox !!

It seems that firefox is recognized as minefield or iceweasel. Or may be they phail at recognizing in Linux.

Mine is changed.

Update: Compose messages does not work for me in Firefox 3.03 or Opera 9.60. In Opera I also cannot open messages

I am reduced to using my hotmail on ie6 through WINE.

^^No such problem for me on Firefox 3.0.3 on Fedora9

Yes, It's been a long time now. At the time there was no GMail. Yahoo was there but I could not synchronize my email (only pop). Hotmail with OE suited my need the best at the time. Offcourse that was a long time back, when I was a Windows addict

Mine got upgraded too, but can't do ANYTHING except logout I'm on Minefield('coz none of the 32-bit browsers work on my Vista x64) and it doesn't even work on IE7!!! How crappy is that!

^^^
it does work on IE7. There is some problem from your side. Check security software installed on your system.

it doesn't even work on IE7!!! How crappy is that!

You are welcome, but it is not working for me

 

[ravi_9793]

You are welcome, but it is not working for me

Please mention what exactly erro you get.

 

[phreak0ut]

There is no error. It's just that I can't open a SINGLE mail!! It's really frustrating. When they had just started upgrading, I had tried it using Opera in Linux, but that didn't help. I'll check it out now, again.

Update: Posting from Opera in OpenSuse 11. Hotmail works fine in this :-/

The solution to your problem is quite simple.

In IE7:

Tools -> Internet options -> Security -> Uncheck Enable protected Mode -> Restart IE. This should solve the problem. Even if it is unchecked, check it, restart & then again uncheck it.

 

[chooza]

[JojoTheDragon]
