la bam Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Hotmail is notorious for sending emails directly to people's spam or trash folders even when it does send. We run a business and with every enquiry we get from a hotmail address we cringe as its literally 50/50 whether or not our reply reaches the client. It's been like that for years. I have no idea at all why people still use hotmail. If it's your main email address I can guarantee you will have had emails sent to you not received, and emails you've sent not received. Hope this helps, as not a lot of people realise how unreliable hotmail is. Edited September 18, 2017 by la bam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit it is just laziness on my part and tbh of late Hotmail has become so slow to open that I will have to do something. I have a gmail account that I should use more.

spongebob Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I've used Hotmail for some time now, usually works fine. I swapped over from easy.com - that was a seriously bad provider. The Hotmail was my backup, but had so many issues with Easy, that I chose to make it my default email. Never looked back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trueno Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I have Hotmail and I never get any emails anyway. Now... let me check in junk in case it's all in there. No... that's empty too. I am truly Billy No-mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 There's been some rather big issues with Microsoft servers over the last two days. It's becoming a right pain in the rear for me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope your not labelling me as a "spammer" because of the Mail program I use, that seems like a poor generalisation. ( unless you can back it up ) Is this what people think of me when I send them an email ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzbass Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 no I'm not calling you a spammer, just having some fun MySpace was a precursor to facebook , sort of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftyP Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I've been using Hotmail for years without any problems. I do have by security setting on 'high' so that only mail from people who are in my address book get into my 'in' box. This is because of the amount of Spam I get from young foreign ladies offering all kinds of services! Since I asked for the ladies to be blocked I've been getting even more invites from them! Hotmail is fine and it means you don't have to change your email address if you swap service providers. I also have Gmail but don't know how to access it.
