My email is extremely slow when sending and opening up my email messages.  I have cleaned out my mail box so that I have under 300 messages in TOTAL.How do I fix the problem?  I am going to close my account if the service dose not speed up. I've been using Hotmail for many years. Please inform.

Thank you,

PLEWIS55, I've moved your post to the Reading and Writing Messages forum.

Incorrect browser settings and Internet filtering browser functions interfering with the operation of Hotmail may cause the issue. Clearing your temporary Internet files and deleting your cookies usually resolves your issue. It can also maintain your browser's performance.
