Hotmail is the world’s most popular email service, with around 360 million users. So Hotmail problems are big problems.
Hotmail users are gradually regaining access to their inboxes after a bug left many staring at a blank page.
Some poor users have been complaining that their entire Hotmail accounts have been wiped without warning – emails, folders, the lot.
Here comes the standard upset customer quote-
“I was so shocked a couple of days ago when I checked my Hotmail as I do several times a day and dicovered I had no emails in my inbox or folders. I have lost loads of important info and sentimental pictures.”
We could laugh, but I'm sure we've got a few emails we'd be upset to lose.
Microsoft says it’s identified the source of the issue and has restored email access to those who were affected. However, emails from the last three days are still not appearing.
“We recognize that even though we restored email access, some of the affected users did not receive mail sent to them during the last 24-72 hours. We are in the process of rectifying that and should be finished by late tonight Pacific time." says Microsoft on their Windows Live help site.
Well that's what you get for being on Hotmail. I've got the solution. It's called Gmail.
