Oddly enough it happened to me too! If I click on the "free hotmail" button at the top of the page, (the "links"toolbar in IE) it takes me into my hotmail homepage without a password!

Me too! Haven't been able to access at all today. Got the same error message - that the machine that contains my account info is down or something like that....

yes, I use 'eprompter' to check my account automatically, and that has been unable to log in, on and off, for a few days......

Here's the error message:

Check the newspaper if you can't get on-line. I just saw an article about it in our evening paper. It's a virus thingie effecting the servers. We have had trouble with connecting since Friday evening, but it's working fine now (Saturday evening).

I think it's more like MSN offered hotmail FREE and is now regretting their decision. BTW mine has been unavailable too all day.

I read the worm thingy and it made no sense whatever to my analog brain.zooooom.
