Is anyone having trouble recieving Hotmail, i have had trouble for about 5 days now.  Any ideas what it can be ??.

Mary, have you got your filters or junk mail settings too high? ???  I know I have and no one gets through, ;D it is so full of cr*p emails >:(  I only turn the settings down if I know someone is emailing me and even then it may not work.
Try using a different supplier I have a couple of others for friends and family.
Hotmail is useful for sites that insist you have an email address, so I just toss that one in to keep em happy. 8)

Roy how do i get another addy i have only ever had this because my son-in-law
set it up for me. No my filter sand settings are ok, Eileen is having trouble also
with Hotmail.  I get so much old cr*p arriving  it drives me nuts. ;D

Mary I did the same as you, got the Son-in-law to set me up, I'm hopeless on the techi side of this lot, sorry. ???

google have a web based email now called g-mail.

You need an invite to set one up, my hubby has one so he probably will be able to invite you.

If you're not sure how to set up an account PM me and I could set one up for you.  I do think its as easy as following the onscreen instructions though.

So, PM me if you would like one with your current email address and I will get dh to send you an invite.

On a side note, ways to avoid getting spam is to not put your email address anywhere!  OK, so this isn't practicle, but never write your address on a forum post, if you have to write it concealed so: myname at something dot com where its obvious what it is, but an email harvester can't get it.

I use gmail and can give it the thumbs up too. Slightly different to Hotmail to start with, but once you get used to it it's better I think.

I have invites too, so if you want one, pm me.

The only spam I get is stuff I've asked for, through a promotional web site, so really 'junk' and not 'spam' I don't think I've had any of the spam you tend to get through hotmail.

Hi Moggle  and Nattyem Thank you for your offer most kind of both of you .  I may have sorted the problem out, i shall know tomorrow, i have never had a problem with  HM before. If i cant sort it i shall PM you .  Cheers Rosebud. ;D

I have had an account with Yahoo since 2000 and it's brilliant.  If anything cr@ppy turns up, I click on it and then onto SPAM.  And it disappears into oblivion. 

You can also set filters to keep out most cr@p.  Good luck!

I use yahoo as well, don't get any spam at all.

Simon,
I get (what I think is) very little Spam.  But I do not open it. I simply click the entry, then click SPAM.  And hey presto! Gone! ::) ;D
