MSN not showing new emails problem

ScarySquirrel · 17 Apr 2006 at 15:34

Hello, didnt know where else to put this, move if it should be elsewhere.

Basically, for about a week now, new emaisl don't pop up at the bottom when i receive them, or when i log in, it just always says (0) next to the envelope.

But when i actually go to my inbox i do have stuff there. Anyone else had this problem and do you know how to fix it.

Thanks for any advice in advance

Is this with new hotmail emails?

i've got this problem as well - nothing shows up in messenger 8, but i do have emails in my hotmail account...how odd

I cant even get on msn at the moment :confused:

MSN decided to delete all my mail that I'd kept from Paul from the start of our relationship. When I asked where it was they told me I hadn't signed in for over 30 days which was rubbish.

Therefore MSN deserves to be killed in the face. With tiny girders.

Grrr.

i'm considering swapping email from hotmail at this point.

over this weekend it's become the most useless service ever, and so far i've relied on it for a lot of stuff.

basically correspondence i'd normally have go through hotmail just won't turn up. it's not the spam/junk filter as I lower this and still have problems.

the service just sucks these days. wouldnt mind trying gmail or something but i think you need an invite.

Mines doing the same. Doesn't change from Zero emails tho I've got loads of unread mail.
I'm using version 7.5.0324

When i used hotmail i found it slow and unreliable, the 30 days thing can be a pain too. If anyone wants a gmail account let me know, got lots of invites here.

Can you use Gmail with Outlook 2003?

EDIT: Never mind, found out you can't.

Could I have a Gmail account please?

Could you send it again please as I hadn't set up my Hotmail account, I thought when you made an account to use MSN you automatically got an E-mail address aswell.

Thanks

Hotmail and MSN is being a bit dodgy recently, just gota give it a while to fix itself i guess.

Drawoh Tesremos · 17 Apr 2006 at 23:53

I have a similar problem, but in reverse. Using trillian with about eight hotmail accounts, most email counts are correct for most of the time, but sometimes, just one of them stays saying I have new mailitems after I've read them.

Just got a reply back from MSN about why were not getting email notifications. :-

we have just verified that the reason why this issue occurs is because the MSN Alerts is temporarily experiencing difficulty. This service is currently unavailable, hence, e-mail alerts and notifications may not be sent.
