Hello All,
 
If you are experiencing issues signing in to your account and have encountered the following error messages:
 
- Sign-in Error. Windows Live Hotmail was not able to sign in to your account at this time. Please try again later
- Due to an internal error
- Server too busy
- Account temporarily unavailable
 
This means that the server that hosts your account is currently undergoing maintenance to guarantee optimum performance.  Unfortunately, we do not have a definite time when this will be completed.  I assure you that this process has been flagged as High Priority and our Technical Team are working diligently to finish this at the soonest possible time. 
 
To ensure that browser settings do not contribute in one way or another, we recommend that you optimize your browser and clear your cache regularly by deleting your temporary Internet files. To learn how to do this, please visit:

Note: If you use an Internet browser other than Microsoft Internet Explorer, see the documentation for your Internet browser to determine how to follow these steps.
 
In line with this, we suggest that you try to sign-in from time to time to check if the issue has been resolved.  Otherwise, please provide us your e-mail address and we will investigate the issue further. 
 
Thanks!

Hi abrown203 and foxincat, providing us your e-mail address is a big help.

After investigating your accounts, though you may be encountering a similar error message to what Windows Live Anthony has posted, I have confirmed that your problem does not fall to the regular server maintenance. Nevertheless, you need not to worry. The product team is already aware of this and is currently investigating the problem.

Thank you for keeping us posted, Fox. I am saddened to say that I cannot provide an exact date or time on when this problem will be resolved. Accounts are hosted on different servers. It is possible that the product team has not finished the server where your account is being hosted. I’ll forward your feedback to them.
