Hello.  On two different computers, after I sign into hotmail and select a message, I see a "loading" message, but nothing happens after several minutes.  All other aspects of my computers and network connectivity (such as sending this question) appear to be working fine.  Are the hotmail servers having problems.

I’ve moved your post to the Reading and Writing Messages forum.

We need the following information so we can investigate this properly:

- Your e-mail address.
- Does this happen even when you use a computer with a different Internet connection?
- Does this issue occur with other Windows Live Hotmail accounts that are being accessed on your computer?

In the meantime, I recommend that you optimize your browser’s settings. Visit the link below for the steps:

Helo

My e-mail address is {removed email address}

Yes, this happens even with a different computer with a different internet connection (i.e. both work and home).

I only have one Hotmail account. 

I have "optimized" my browser's setting, and am still getting the loading problem. 

In the meantime, I have figured out a workaround.  If the "Loading" prompt appars for more than 10 seconds, then I know hotmail has become "stuck" again.  This occurs once after every 5 or so update actions, such as reading e-mails, deleting, etc.  (In my opinion, that's a lot!)  Once I see the "Loading" prompt is not going to return anything, I click a differnt folder(like the Junk folder), and then I can almost instantly come back to the Inbox and continue what I was doing. 

Best regards,
