Hotmail BETA for those who signed up now available


Recommended Posts

I got in the other day :)

I've been using my account for several years now.

I think only @hotmail.com addresses are accepted rather than @hotmail.co.uk/@msn.com etc. I haven't read all of this thread so I might be wrong.

You get POP3 access, which is definetley worth the $20 IMO. I haven't checked my email through a browser in years, at least not when I'm at home. For some strange reason, I can use Outlook 2003 to check my Hotmail account, even though I'm not a suscriber. But I'm pretty sure this is an anomaly.

Need Help Over here guys.

I got into the Beta last few days. But ever since i got into it, i can't log in to my MSN Messenger anymore. I am only able to log in to my Hotmail

It keeps on showing that The Service is temperorily Unavailable.

I am Logging in From Sydney Australia.

Oh yeah, My friend tried to log in his Msn Messenger using the same computer i am using and he was able to do so.

I am Using a @hotmail.com

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I believe you still have access to Hotmail via Outlook still is because you started to use that feature before they discontinued it for new users. So anyone who used it before they discontinued it will still have access. :happy:

Weird :huh: It still works for me and I signed up before it became a pay feature. Oh well :happy: Now if only MSN could send me an invite :angry: .

For those of you in the UK that got in, are your addresses @hotmail.co.uk or .com?

I don't think I use my hotmail enough for them to put me in the beta, maybe that's why I haven't been chosen (even though I signed up).

Wierd though since I was given my free 250Mb and POP3 at the same time as the first US users, even though my country is set to the UK.

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.
    • In rare occasions when you turn your computer on you will be greeted with a Secure Boot error followed by the message "No boot device found" If you go into the UEFI and disable Secure Boot the system boots up just fine. Below is a method I found online to fix the issue Disable Secure Boot and boot into Windows (If Bitlocker is enable you'll have to go to https://aka.ms/myrecoverykey on another device to find your bitlocker recovery key). Find a flash drive and make sure it's formatted Fat32 Create a folder on the flash drive called EFI and a subfolder inside EFI called BOOT On your computer navigate to C:\windows\boot\EFI Copy the file SecureBootRecovery.efi to your flash drive\EFI\BOOT Now reboot the computer and tell the computer to boot off that flash drive. You should see a black screen with some text telling you it has repaired Secure Boot Turn Secure Boot back on and reboot and your computer should boot normally.
