Stay away from hotmail? Sorry.

AFAIK you can just contact MS/Outlook.com support as hotmail was bought by Microsoft a while back.

Unfortunately, the best you can do is switch to something that works (like Gmail) or complain to hotmail. You can forward all your hotmail emails to your new gmail (http://email.about.com/od/windowslivehotmailtips/qt/How-To-Forward-Windows-Live-Hotmail-To-Gmail.htm) if you set it up, and change BitcoinTalk to gmail if you want.

This is a known issue and happened as of roughly when the forum went down (this may or may not be related).

Emails from the forum have always been treated as spam by most major email providers so it is possible that hotmail tweaked their anti-spam settings so to not even deliver emails from the forum

I haven't had an issue with receiving notifications via hotmail. Is this a widespread issue?

There are several people who all stopped recieving them on the 28th for some reason, though some people's hotmail accounts seem to be unaffected. Doesn't seem to be working on outlook either.

Theymos said Hotmail is dropping mails very frequently. I recently switched to Hotmail after gmail blocked my account and have this issue since then. The best solution is to either contact them or just switch to another mail service provider.

Reporting in here that mine seem to be working fine Feb 11 date
May just be intermittent although I do not see a resolved message here yet so maybe its still impacting some users.

I wasn't getting emails to my hotmail account before, but they just started working again for me recently.

Not all of us are, they are useful for pm notification and other stuff as I want to know that I received a pm. If you feel that it is annoying, change the settings in the profile for email accordingly.

Exactly. Easy to turn off. But very convenient if you want to be notified in case of a sale or trade.
