Safari - Hotmail Login Problem!

When I use the MSN messenger mail icon to log into Hotmail. The login gets stuck in a loop occasionally, and the only way to solve it is to delete the windows live cookies. Is there a proper fix for this?

I have read that signing out every time from Hotmail prevents this. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.3), 2.4, 4GB 667Mhz, 7200 RPM HDD 200GB 256 Nvidia

Make sure your cookies are "on". Go to that page. No need to do anything there, no need to click on anything; ignore the crazy "advice"; better still don't read it! (See my post further down the page if you like). Just allow that page to finish loading. Close that page. You will now be able to reach HoTMaiL for the rest of your session.

I had this problem too. I'm not sure if this will help you but...

Go to home.live.com
Click HOTMAIL on the toolbar.

Try logging in from there from now on. Again, I'm not sure if it will work. If not, may I recommend GMail. You can hook that up to Mail in the dock.

Yep, it works, bit shoddy from Microsoft here. I thought the whole point of a HTML standard is that they work on any browser! It always seems poor on safari! This is not the only one, other Microsoft sites are dodgy!
