I had shocking problems with hotmail about sept/oct time which is why I switched to google mail for my public address.

googlemail is much better and they won't close your account down if it isn't accessed for a while. I've had one now since they first set up the beta testing site and i've never had a problem with it at all.
You get unlimited size mailbox and you can send an email of up to 10mb in size.

Also just make sure you typed in your hotmail username and PW correctly, normally there's been a typo made when an account that is regularly accessed goes AWOL.
Microsoft have been known to mess up though.

Sorry for your troubles, Marit.
I had to get Google Mail in order to set up a Google Alert for invisible text in my Constant Content articles (another safeguard against misappropriation).
It's also cross referenced to my Google account for blogger so I get notifications of comments there too. The beauty of it its the little envelope in my Google toolbar. It opens up to tell me I've got new mail. Very dinky.

Yahoo webmail is worth looking at too, Marit

Thank you all. I've set up a google mail account and have just changed my email address on here. I've also downloaded Firefox again, which makes that possible.
It won't bring back my mail on Hotmail though, so apologies if I seem ignorant and don't reply to e-mails. I don't get them.
I haven't made any mistakes logging in, nor has the account been idle lately (it was a while ago, but then they let me just re-register to the same account). I'll check now and then, just in case, but will use the google mail address from now on (as well as my usual aol addresses).
