RE: Working on your request... Hotmail Live unuseable lately...

Hello,

First I get the (( Working on your request...)) yellow bar at the bottom of
the Hotmail inbox window, then after a long wait it comes up with:

((( We can't connect to Windows Live Hotmail right now. Please try again
later.)))

Which is also in a yellow bar but it's located at the top of the of the
Hotmail inbox window.

Nothing has changed on my PC and Windows Live Mail (Hotmail) always worked
fine before. XP SP3 IE6

I though it could be a javascript error so I updated Sun java to latest 6u6
but, still have the problem. Then I reluctantly installed SilverLight, still
have the problem. Installed all the latest updates (patch Tuesday June 8,
2008) still no luck.

I have seen multiple users all across the web posting of this problem over
the last few weeks... It isn't a problem that we can fix on our end, it has
to be a bug on the server side.

Is anybody from Microsoft working on this problem ?
Can somebody shed some light on this for us, Please ?

Thanks,
_mr_fix_it_

left side of browser saying "Working on your request...."
It actually stays on too long and Hotmail Live freeezes, stops working or if
I am very unlucky it will crash after writting an email for 30 minutes.
I pay for the full account and the Outlook connector so there is no reason
for my Live account to work on any request.
I am currently working in another country (but problem not there before so I
don't think is country related).
I suspect that it may be related to waiting to download and dysplay ads or
unwanted info from home country. Another nono if I pay for full services.
This last part is especulative but msn ads services seems to be having that
effect around the net lately (so I am not alone in this idea).
----->questions:
1-is the message "working on your request" a temporary problem due to some
upgrading somewhere, or is it a thing to stay?
2-If so, will paying accounts also suffer from this?
3-If so, can someone suggest another webbased email service that will be
adbot-tracking free (so no gmail) even if paying more than $50 a year? (I
already use Yahoo premium for anotyher account, so no Yahoo either).
Thanks.
