I created my hotmail.com email account before it was acquired by Microsoft and it has worked for me so far.
It seems that Microsoft finally has managed to broke it for me. After they switched me to the new version of Outlook, it has stopped to load the mailbox for me and I have not been able to properly access my mailbox since days.
Does somebody else experience this?
Edit: as a remainder, hotmail.com was founded in 1996 by Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith and was later acquired by Microsoft for $400 million.
