I have this problem for 2 days now. All I get is a pop-up stating that the connection has been reset because the site could not be verified.

Anyone else having this ??

I haven't had any problems with outlook.com

Try going to outlook.co.th and see if it will work.

Who in their right mind uses hotmail these days? I got aggravated as long ago as 10 years with Hotmail. I still have an account with them but they won't let me log in as I now live in Thailand or something. I did get through to the Hotmail log in site though, maybe you should try another link to get to Hotmail.

I always use Mozilla Thunderbird, it works perfect.

Now as you say I also tried to open the hotmail in the browser, it works fine as well.

If you are using FireFox, the latest update changed the way the certificate verification works and as a result, a lot of sites are "locked" because their certificates don't meet the FireFox requirement/standards.

The solution is simple:

In FireFox, click "open menu" - Advanced - click the Certificates Tab, then uncheck "Query OCSP servers to confirm...".

This "feature" is FireFox's effort to seriously improve internet security, something sadly lacking in IE.

My Firefox Nightly worked with its latest update and the one before that. However, I mostly use IE and now have been using Spartan. I haven't had any problems with outlook.com or security yet.

When I have had problems reaching hotmail/outlook/msn in the past, I was able to connect using the "co.th" addresses.

yep--i get it too

drives me crazy

usually when i use need internet connection

• if im in laos or like that...like ive been hacked or stg..

works when im back to my room connection

The best thing you can do is kick hotmail to the curb,and go with gmail.I have had many problems with hotmail.

Since I started with gmail,not 1 problem.

I always use Mozilla Thunderbird, it works perfect.

Now as you say I also tried to open the hotmail in the browser, it works fine as well.

Yes I had two Hotmail accounts and shifted to twp Gmail accounts, but I have all four on Thunderbird and the Hotmail accounts are still working without any problem.

I use the Hotmail accounts for anything that's likely to generate ads & spam so that the Gmail accounts remain relatively spam free.

There may be a fix here. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/outlook/account-temporarily-blocked

The new outlook.com now has better features for deleting and sorting mail than gmail. You can choose one sender in outlook and sweep every email they've ever sent from your inbox. There are neat options for deleting all but the last message sent, the last ten days worth of messages, etc. Check it out. The outlook site also now has a button that will link you to office online and One Drive.

Beng...amongst all the dross and irritating non-helpful comments, the advice from Rotweiler (supported by Bahtboy's tip) seems one way forward. Another is contained in this article...hope it helps.
