Ever since I made the switch I haven't been able to login to my hotmail. I am using safari, if it matters. When I try to login it get a message that says that there is either a problem with the site or the site is not available from where I am trying to login from.
Any advice??
Thanks, Kevin

I've never had an issue with logging into Hotmail with Safari.

Have you tried a different browser? I would get Firefox or Camino and see if you can access Hotmail with one of those. That should help you troubleshoot a little bit.

You wouldn't perhaps be using the new Windows Live Hotmail ? There could be issues with the functionality of the new Hotmail "theme"?

I have had a free hotmail account for many years but it got "updated" with the rest of their stuff, but it is still the free account.
I clicked the sign up button then the get it free button and it went directly to my account once but now it feeds me back to the log in screen.
I guess I will try using firefox, thats what I always used on PC and never had problems.

In the past few hours I have been able to get in also, maybe there was a compatibility issue that got fixed or something. Something funny is going on though.

I'm thinking different... iMac, Macbook, iPod Touch, 10.5 - Leopard
You could look at it as a blessing, and switch to gmail :)

Well I use gmail also but a lot of my older contacts are still in hotmail. I am slowly transitioning away from hotmail but it is hard to remember everything that uses that account. I suppose I can see if there is an automatic fwd feature on there.
But yeah gmail is a lot better, and I can check it on Mail unlike the free hotmail.
