OT Anybody have Hotmail? Working?
I guess it's called "Outlook.com" but the URL says "live.com".
I'm having trouble getting to Sent, Deleted, etc. It shows messages there, but nothing happens when I click on those folder names. Thanks. |

Nevermind, for some reason we must double-click on the folders.
I'm very used to single clicking to open stuff in Windows Explorer. |

I usually access my hotmail account thru Thunderbird but I checked the online version just to be sure. |

I doubt that there is some setting. I don't use folders other than Inbox much anyway. Just needed to be able to get to the other folders from time to time. I'm using Firefox 28.0 in Windows 7, FWIW. -- It's no big deal now. |

Maybe related... In the Hotmail tab when there is a new message, I
see a new message indicator "(1)" but when that tab is activated the message does not show in the Inbox until the tab/page is refreshed. I can do some serious troubleshooting on this, like restoring an older installation. If it's troublesome or interesting enough to do so. I suspect it's part of one or two most recent backups, if in fact the problem is on my end. |

If you have another browser installed, try it in that browser. Then you'll know whether it's a Firefox or a Windows problem. |

The next time I do a restore, I will go back a few copies to test. |

But Gmail works just fine... Clicking on folders opens the folders
every time. |

Apparently it's a Windows problem that occurred after the ninth of this month. Amazing how easy solving problems is when you have backups of Windows. Now all I have to do is pay attention to what was installed or upgraded (if it's done again). |

Now all I have to do is pay attention to what was installed or upgraded (if it's done again). There have been no updates (since May 9th or even earlier this year) in Windows or IE that impact Outlook.com (fka Hotmail.com) functionality when using Windows with IE or 3rd party browser clients. The Outlook.com web UI, though, is undergoing changes to enhance the existing and also provide new features. -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |

Doesn't necessarily require an update from Microsoft for something
to get messed up in Windows. Surprise. It could be a new piece of software. It could be a configuration change. Conceivably something could get corrupted. But whatever it was is gone, Hotmail is working correctly now. It was a strange problem. Very strange. I will keep my eye open for what caused it. |

It happens in Internet Explorer 11 too.
And, strangely, it happens seemingly randomly. It's happening again without installing or configuring anything. I suppose it could be my mouse. But that wouldn't explain why activating the tab does not automatically download the email (the tab must be refreshed). I'm using a wireless router, maybe that has something to do with it. |
