Can't send out from Hotmail

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: drhathaway

On our home PC, my roommate is having trouble sending email from his Hotmail account. Our connection and internet work fine because he is able to log into Hotmail and read his email. However, after writing a message he hits the "Send" button and on the bottom/left corner a yellow caution sign appears with an "Error" beside it. The green status bar on the bottom right corner of Internet Explorer also doesn't stop, even after walking away from the computer for several minutes.

I open a separate window with my own Hotmail account and am able to view/send email without any problems. I open a third window and another roommate brings up his Hotmail account and he also doesn't have any problems.

We've tried restarting our system and I have run an updated Spybot. We've also turned off the McAfee Virus stuff to no success.

Any thoughts?

My roommate has a Hotmail account that he can view just fine on our computer (running XP) but is unable to send email. We bring up his Hotmail account using Internet Explorer and he is able to view all of his messages and change options without a problem. However, after writing an email to anyone he hits the "Send" button and on the bottom left corner appears a yellow caution sign reading "Error".

I open a second window with my Hotmail account and I am able to send email. We try a 3rd window and are equally successful sending email from the 3rd Hotmail account. This is also the case with his yahoo email account. He can send email from other computers, just not his own machine.

We've run Spyware and have restarted the machine but we replicate the same problems

Java settings? Blocks? Any thoughts?

Still haven't figured it out. What I have noticed is that a few web pages I visit never completely load, e.g., Yahoo and altcountrytab.com. After 10-15 minutes, the "Yahoo" logo never appears in the top center of the screen and the loading meter never finishes. When I bring up a guitar tab it never completely loads either.

Hi, I am having the same problem. I cannot send or reply to any emails in Hotmail, yet my father can sign on my same desktop with no problem. He also can send messages to me, I can get the email , but I cannot reply or compose a new one. Has anyone been able to help you with your problem? This is really bothering me.

Hotmail is a free email service. Accounts just "break" all the time. Unless you're paying for your account, good luck getting any support from Hotmail. They own the servers, they own the accounts, and there's no way for anyone to troubleshoot a web-based free email service other than the owner of that service.

If other people can sign in on the same computer and send email, then it's nothing to do with your computer, it's your account. You'll have to take it up with Hotmail.

Sorry.

I had the same exact problem. Try this:

1. Sign in to your Hotmail account
2. Open any email and click reply
3. When you get to the reply screen highlight the URL in the address bar and right-click copy
4. Go to Tools in IE.
5. Click Internet Options
6. Go to the Security Tab
7. Click Local Intranet
8. Click SItes
9. Select Advanced
10. Right click Paste to put the reply URL in the box
11. Click Add.
12. Click OK.
13. Close out your Hotmail, and sign on again.

You should now be able to send new emails and reply. I tried that and mine worked. Let me if this worked for you.

I might be able to help u out if u let me know ur Operating System.. if ur using XP, you would probably need to install Sun's Java Plug in www.java.com ... also lower your security settings.. that should help...good luck!
