when I first got my iPhone I could go on safari and
check my email via hotmail.com!

But now it will not let me sign in at all!

I am entering all my details correctly!!

Any ideas why?

Keep trying. My wife has the same problem on both her Touch and her MBP. Microsoft just doesn't like to "play nice" with Mac. After repeated attempts, she usually gets in.

you need to clear the cache of all of the live.com and hotmail addresses.

it is a known bug with hotmail.

that is if you are experiencing a login loop

Yea i had to keep clearing cache on MBP every once in a while. got fed up so i just decided to install Firefox for hotmail use. Then gave up and moved everything to Gmail IMAP.

It was a complicated and horrid procedure.
I used a friends Desktop running outlook.
I downloaded and installed Outlook Connector and let Outlook download and synchronize all of my folders and sub folders to the computer.
Then i added Gmail IMAP to Outlook and dragged everything over into GMail account.
Deleted everything off Outlook.

Just thought i would outline a procedure for anybody moving off Hotmail, and need to keep stuff.
