This issue suddenly cropped up overnight with me, too. I downloaded the new (beta) Safari 3 and still no luck. I can't access Hotmail via Firefox either (I get a similar redirection problem message). everything was working fine with the old Hotmail, but as soon as they switched to Windows Live, I got shut out. I have an msn.com account, so can retreive e-mail through Entouage, but to delete messages, you have to go to Hotmail... Reloading, rejecting cookies - nothing works. Anyone any other ideas?

Try resetting Safari as I mentioned in my previous post. That usually works for me when I get into one of those endless loops.

Hope that does it for you.

If not, then perhaps it's just a server acting-up and may go away.
 
safari and hotmail

I'm here because I'm having the same problem with both msn and hotmail login. Constant and numerous redirects. This just started about 9/13/07. I'm using Safari 1.3.2 and I tried the above plug-in with no success. Will keep checking back to see how widespread the problem is and look forward to a fix.
 
Ok guys just a quick question. My macbook has been running great and all but today I've been trying to get to my hotmail account with Safari. I guess hotmail has this new windows live mail when you type in hotmail.com. Well when I type in my login and password it does all this redirecting and then comes to page can't open because of too many redirects. Is anyone else having this problem with hotmail????? Do I have a virus??????

I want to confirm that this happened to me earlier as well. So I used Navigator instead and I was able to log in. However once I was in, all the icons were distorted.

Now I am able to log in fine so something must have happened with msn.
 
Hey guys. I found that when I had that problem earlier with all those stupid redirects, one time I sent that report a bug problem to apple about it. About maybe an half hour later my hotmail worked again and has been working no problem. I don't know if its a coiencidence or not but maybe that might help.
 
Im also getting this problem when trying to access Windows Live. The problem also happens when I try to open my inbox from Mac Messenger. Hopefully this will be sorted soon.
