Hotmail won't launch from MSN Messenger in Safari

Hi,Syd,

Cookies enabled to Always allows Safari users to properly log out of MSN
It is also the way it has worked for me without disruption, none.

Safari doesn't sign out of MSN, even though you click Sign Out

This may be obsolete, may not, not for me to say.I am just happy to be able to log out of msn.
( I'll probably dream of a million iron gates tonight let me out, let me in; )
Good Luck

Hi Eme,

I totally agree with you.. it's great to be able to sign out from MSN (and it works well with my currents accounts).

But, maybe it wasn't a clear enought question (xcuse my english, i mostly use french here...) but I would like to "survey", to ask the question to other users who experience the current "no login from msn messenger to hotmail account" problem. (beside, yes it is better to set the cookies to always as a good way to get out of MSN properly)

So now I'm asking: is anyone who having this problem (messenger to no hotmail inbox, just a "loop") can tell me if they experience this with all accounts ? Is a freshly created hotmail account still can't connect to hotmail from msn messenger link ? (with same config. of course and safari as default browser)

or is it me that is weirdly lucky... ?

Thanks !

Syd.

yeah, there has been some confusion here...it's not the complete logout of hotmail that's the problem, rather the inability to login to your account to begin with. in my case, it doesn't matter if i click the "mail" icon in msn messenger, or just type "www.hotmail.com" in the address bar...an endless loop in a safari browser window ensues (interupted by a sign-in screen here and there).

i've said this in a few different posts...i believe the problem is with the recent safari update versus anything related to cookie settings. you can get the universal binary for firefox to access hotmail (which incidentally has no issues with logging out of hotmail).

my hotmail account was created in 2000...does that mean it's an older account? if so, perhaps that is the problem!

Thank you TkGooMP!

Going to "My MSN" first, then clicking "Hotmail" seems to work everytime.

I have had this problem for the last couple of days. It seems to have started after I loaded the new version of Java. Everything was fine before that update. The problem has only affected Safari from what I can tell. I do know that Hotmail requires Java Script. My guess is that the problem is related but I have not found a work around yet. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Nice try...Gates... but we prefer Safari.

This was an Apple created issue with the latest java update. I have 2 macs and this started after I installed the java update on my PM. Went to my other mac and it still opened hotmail just fine from MSN. Did the latest java install package on it and now both are having the problem. Again it started just after installing the latest java update. So Apple needs to be notified about this and its thier fix to make.

I confirm it was caused by the java update.
I only had this problem after the update too

I haven´t installed the Java update in any of my computers and I cannot acces hotmail, so the Java update is not the problem.

So far the myMSN link is the only way I can access my hotmail emails.

I'm new to Safari. I can't sign into Hotmail in the first place. The address and password boxes appear as two thin lines and can't be typed into. It's the same if I try to log in through My MSN. I've tried all the suggetions but none appears to work.

I dint think it is a Java thing. I hadnt installed any updates when this happened - microsoft have changed something to do with hotmail and windows live. It works ok in explorer but just gets stuck in a loop when it tries to log in to hotmail...

,,, i mean, safari just gets stuck in a loop...

There was many reports of this problem back in october.. So the Java update isn't the only problem.. But the update is certainly the problem in my case

if it was just the fact that Microsoft changed things.. it would happen to everyone
Com'on !!
