When I try to open my email today in hotmail I am getting the message
Reference #97.d4ac7cb.1215754682.334ab7e. What could be the reason and how to rectify it and start using the same mail id again??

Hotmail may have been down temp for maintenance. It is working right now.

Does the problem continue?

Have you made any changes that may affect internet settings at all?

Do you have any other problems with using internet or just the hotmail issue?

It's not working right now, at least for me. I've seen Hotmail down a lot, sometimes for days. So I'd try again later. I only use it for a junk account, but if there's stuff you gotta be able to get to, I'd be finding another email cause Hotmail is junk.

?? Have not had a problem at all the last few days, was posted on the 11th, hope he's got it figured out
