Having Issues With Hotmail? Microsoft Suggests Chrome
Okay, so Microsoft didn't send out a blast e-mail to all customers telling them that specifically, but a post from the company on the Hotmail forums reads: "Some customers have indicated that if they use Google Chrome to view their Hotmail account they no longer encounter this problem." Sure, it's not the most enthusiastic endorsement, but the message seems pretty clear: If you're having problems, try Chrome and see what happens. We should note, though, that plenty are reporting the same issues when using Chrome. Another solution would be for Microsoft to allow users to temporarily switch back to the old Hotmail while the company works on the problem, but that does not appear to be likely.
An update from the Hotmail team today says a fix is in the works and will be deployed by the end of the week. Till then, make sure your browser of choice is up to date, or try Chrome. Alternatively, if you're really set on sticking with Firefox or Internet Explorer (which seem to be suffering the most problems), Microsoft suggests trying Live Mail or the mobile version of Hotmail.

Regarding this All-New Hotmail...
1.- I don't like the new eenie-meenie-tiny-smaller font; I have to keep zooming with the IE Zoom in order to try to read the different subjects my inbox or junk folder, and my computer runs with Windows 7 on IE8 with 360X768 screen resolution on a 32'' inches LCD-Full HD, LG screen!
2.- Once you select over 10 junk mails and trying to mark those as "Phishing Scam" for a quick delete, it keeps coming with an error message over and over and not deleting any!
Then you just have to manually delete each one separately consuming my time and patience!
My Junk folder keeps clogged because I receive over 50 junk mails per day!!
3.- Once I try to read a message in my Inbox it starts showing previous or future replied messages instead of the one that I ACTUALLY want to read!
It's very confusing and tiresome to check all those different messages and dates that comes up at once when you've been exchanging comunication with those emails with another user!
4.- On and on I still LOVE the Yahoo! Mail because it allows me to open each separate letter in a different tab -Inside the same IE tab that I'm already in my Yahoo! mail- for a quick check of different emails from different contacts, dates and conversations instead of just one SINGLE window as in Hotmail!
When I try to do that in Hotmail: I have to keep opening NEW IE windows for checking the "Sent Folder" for a different email and date while opening ANOTHER different IE window for trying to type a new message or actually checking another mail in the "Inbox Folder"!
It kills time and it's far from the versatility of Yahoo! Mail multiple tabs in the SAME single window!!
I know Hotmail is shifting gears, but it's really annoying when some times you try to log off from your Hotmail account for someone else to try to check his Hotmail account: It only keeps popping the previous account on the LAST letter you just read!
No matter if you close that tab and wait for a while or even try to open an entirely new window; Hotmail keeps doing that: Showing the last letter you've read when you already log off!!
Hopefully this could be read my any Hotmail Guru at Almighty Windows!!
Thank you!
