Windows Live Hotmail - No Inbox Yet error


Recommended Posts

Me and 3 of my friends are trying to log into Windows Live Hotmail via http://mail.live.com and www.hotmail.com, and once you log in, on all accounts we tried we get a "You dont have an inbox yet" message, and asks you to sign up for hotmail, yet I can still view my contacts. It's acting like I am a new customer.

Also the Windows Live Mail client won't connect either...

anyone else getting this?

Hi.

This is a common issue when you have not yet activated your email account, although the above statements signify that you have. So what I will recommend now is clicking "Sign out", if you don't see a sign out button I suggest that you optimize your browser and clear your cache by deleting your temporary Internet files. To learn how to do this on Internet Explorer (IE), visit the link below:

If the problems persist, I ask that you contact the technical support team by doing the following.

1. Go to https://support.live.com/default.aspx?productkey=wlid

2. Click on any topics on the left panel, then wait for the page to load completely.

3. Click Get more help on the lower right corner of the page, then click on Get support.

4. Complete the e-form and then click Submit.

Thanks.

Mine kicked me off while I was checking my emails out of nowhere. I was deleting something and it told me "Please sign in again. Windows Live Mail routinely signs you off after 24 hours for your safety" or something along the lines of that. I have clean machines and both said the same thing. So I try logging in and it just brings me back to the same page constantly. I went to msn.com and then hotmail, then sign in. Messenger won't sign me in either saying there's a temporary server issue.

I can't log into Messenger, MSN.com, or Hotmail. Is it the same for you guys?

I always spaz out when stuff like this happens. Probably should stop being so dependent on technology.

Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I just signed out, exited WLM, and signed back in no problem :/

Damn! I am getting the same problem.. and I was worried that i was alone!

Anyway, now, how long do we have to wait for this to get resolved? And, that feedback page just does not open for me!

I can't login. Just doesn't accept my password. I'm glad to hear others are having problems. Sometimes I worry about getting hacked!

same here

Thought it was just me...

It keeps kicking me out of the login page at mail.live.com after I noticed WLMail stopped syncing.

I did too. Google took me to this page on a 'windows live down' search, and I've been following the helpful links since then. Think the microsoft twitter seems like a good place to stay up-to-the-minute-updated.

I knew I'd find a topic regarding my problem here on Neowin.

For a second I thought it was Mail.app acting up, because I had Adium opened. Then I booted into Windows and Live Mail and Messenger were just not working at all. I almost thought I was hacked or something...
