But I do notice that MS has been toying heavily with hotmail. My old setup failed a few days ago just like they warned me months ago. There is NO WAY to get that working again since they have offlined the old hotmail pop3 servers for good. I can't tell if you've set it up the new way. What new way? They tell you, not me.

Hello everybody,
Recently my internet stopped working for a week due to telephone exchange problems. But now it started working 2 days ago, and everythings working fine, EXCEPT for:
Windows live messenger 8.1: error code 80048820 extended error code 8004840f
Hotmail: When i enter my email address and password and click sign in, it says the page cannot be displayed. This msg comes up on both firefox 2 and IE7, so i cant sign in webmessenger aswell.
Plus yahoo messenger doesnt work either.
I would really thankful if someone could help me resolve this issue.
Thank you very much!
