Anybody having trouble with Hotmail right now? I can't seem to access it this afternoon.
White page says "Service not available" (6:00 PM EST). No other information/links

Response by poster: Well, then, at least it isn't just me. (curls up in email withdrawal spasms.)

Just spoke to MS, they say it was a minor outage that got compounded and they estimate 2-4 hours of downtime.

Strangely from the IMAP(ish) version that I can get in Entourage/Outlook Express, I can send but can't seem to receive. I can't login through a browser, and it seems to be related to passport being down.

Actually, I take that back. When I go to MSN, and click on their hotmail link in the left nav, it dumps me right into my account. I'm not sure if that is using a different address or what.
Also, I did recieve my test message through Entrouage. it's just it was in the junk folder where I wasn't looking.

They told me that it's actually Passport that's down, so if you were already logged in or whatever, hotmail is still technically up, etc. But logins are disabled.
