I've been using the Windows Live Mail Beta for about a week now. Today, I've been trying for a couple hours but cannot login. The response is, "Server Too Busy -- We are experiencing higher than normal volume and are therefore unable to service your request at this time."

Mrs. Newgeezer, at home, is able to login to her Hotmail account. So, I figure it's either a problem affecting only certain Hotmail servers OR it's something at my work location.

So, is anyone else seeing this today?

(Yes, I'm logged in to FR. No, I am not logged in to Hotmail.)

Weird. I have 2 Hotmail accounts. I can access 1 but not the other. I get the "Server too Busy" message on my primary account.

That might confirm that the problem is occurring only on certain servers.

Thanks!

3 hours now I've been trying to log in. This is the last straw for me.

If I had my cell phone, I'd sign up for Gmail.

Gmail is so superior to Hotmail in every way, I was just about to abandon my Hotmail accounts completely. Then, I tried the Windows Live Mail beta. It's a HUGE improvement but, I remain unconvinced it's as good as Gmail. (And that's before this happened.)
