Admittedly I don't normally use web email (unless at work) as it takes too long to open. I configured Outlook Express to check my hotmail account as well which is a lot easier to check and compose emails. Sam m	Guest (0)

I've also had the problem in hotmail where I'm typing some long-assed email and suddenly it just disappears. Such is the unreliability of Microsoft. I've overcome the problem by typing all of my emails in notepad and saving them until they are finished and then just copy and pasting into hotmail. This way I dont have to rely on Microsoft for reliability and you can save the draft until it's finished. And if your ISP is going to have an outage, you can be sure it will happen when you are just about finished your email....but not quite, and once again, you lose it all. With notepad, no problems at all.	Guest (0)
