For a few days now my hotmail account is extremely slow. Everything else is okay. I have a DSL connection and I’m running Win2000. I checked for viruses, cleaned the temp. internet files, ran AdAware and Spybot and nothing was found out of the ordinary. What could be causing ONLY Hotmail to run so slow? Oh yeah, I also accessed my hotmail account from another computer and it works okay.
No ideas? Wild ass guesses? “That happened to my friends cousin’s sister” stories? Anything?!
Hotmail occasionally runs very slowly for me, too. So slow I often go out for a smoke while waiting for a screen to refresh. I’ve always put it down to Site traffic, or “That’s just Hotmail”. It’s been by primary email account for years, so I just put up with it. Some days are worse than others, and it’s been not so slow, as of late, for me. I’m also on a DSL, running Win XP. It’s taken as long as 15 minutes to get to the ‘empty all/report as junk mail’ dialogue box when flushing Bulk mail.
I’ve found that right clicking and hitting ‘refresh’ sometimes helps, when it seems stuck between messages.
