[Closed] hotmail problem

Sorry, can't find anything about this on t'interweb.

Normally, when composing a message you can enter the 1st few letters of an email address in the 'To' slot and it finds it quickly. Now I get a little green thing going round & round and rarely does it become an address. All addresses have to be entered in full manually.

Any ideas?

Might help, I don't use hotmail though.

Thw wife is having a similar issue: when reply to an email, the 'To' slot is empty and can;t be populated from her contacts - has to be entered manually. Can't remember if she's tried it in a new email.... Also came up with nothing from a cursory Google....

how are you accessing your hotmail? Using the windows live mail application installed on a pc, through an android app, or through the web interface?

edit: try accesssing your account through "outlook.com" - add an outlook alias for your hotmail address if need be, there are easy steps that you;re guided through. The interface is completely different and much nicer IMHO

you could try upgrading to outlook, maybe they have broken something in the migration
