    Guys!

    Are any of u using Windows Live mail with Windows Live Domains to access ur email (e.g. [email protected] via Live Mail)?

    I have not been getting any mail at my email address for the past 2 weeks and test mails sent from my other email i.d's (yahoo, work, hotmail) to my Live Mail id is not getting through either. :(

    I have not even been able to set up a vacation message to warn senders of this problem and to ask them to write me at an alternate email. (Windows Live mail does not have the "Vacation reply" feature) :mad:

    Any advise is appreciated!!

    I dont use a desktop client for email but I use Mozilla Thunderbird for my email at work. It is convenient and nice to use, and like Firefox it has extensions/themes to customize its look.

    I am also talking about using a browser to access email. I access a email like [email protected] (where "yourname.com" is a domain I own) thru' the Windows Live Mail system. Microsoft allows this using a service called "Windows Live Domains"

    Is this an upgrade version of Windows Live Mail (formerly Hotmail) which you pay for and get greater storage and other features? I dont know much about that. I thought Microsoft recently upgraded their free mail service to 5GB. For most people 2GB is way more than enough. If you dont mind using a free mail account, maybe consider switching to another mail service. I recommend Google mail.

    Otherwise hopefully someone else here has knowledge on this issue.
