I went to log in to Hotmail and received the same message. I then hit the "back" button and Hotmail loaded from there. I don't know if that would work for anyone else, but it might be worth a try.
Is your computer turned on?
Drat, I forgot to preemptively kill that one. Foiled again.
No, I still use Hotmail as my primary email account.
Regardless, that's the error message you'll see whenever you try to save an Excel spreadsheet as .CSV when there's any sort of formatting (font face, size, style, etc.).
Since you don't need any formatting for what you're doing, just click 'Yes' and give it a shot, if you haven't already.
If you want to be careful, try it with just a few of your contacts and see what happens. Then, if you don't like the results and need to delete them from Gmail, there won't be so many to delete.
Oh well, I tried clicking yes and then when I tried importing the file it failed.
I'll turn to my guru now to walk me through it (my brother)
Yes, I had difficulty early in the day, but, since I usually get little besides unwanted advertising and anonymous hate mail, I was not overly troubled by that delay.
Hotmail's been working for me today.
I think there is a malware virus problem with Hotmail. I signed on to my hotmail account last night and my anti-virus sent up all the alarms to stay away. Shut down the browser window I was using to view hotmail.
This morning as my computer went through its morning virus scan at sign on I had to remove malware. Nothing I was doing on a brief opening of Hotmail last night would have found me the cause.
I never open attachments from anyone.
And I can not get into Hotmail this morning. Same warning as others...Server Too Busy.
Maybe what you are seeing with your GMail reference is a trojan virus mixing up you Hotmail with your GMail. Do a scan and let us know.
