The Outlook is disappointing
MilesAhead:
For as long as possible I out- maneuvered the attempts by Hotmail to draw me into the Outlook interface. But alas, I had to log in through a link. There was no way around it. Now every time I open my mail instead of the inbox just being there I have to watch this progress bar for some unknown interval. Just like my google mail. Arrrgghhhhh!!
The guy who named it a "progress bar" was being ironic I suspect. :)

progress bar? What are you referring to? I've never seen such.

When I log in there is a splash screen with Outlook in huge letters, a progress bar, with text below that says "opening your mailbox." Perhaps if you signed in months ago you are still with that interface? Most likely that is it. Because I have another account I use as a spam catcher and it got sucked into Outlook months ago. It doesn't do what this other login does.
Here's a screen shot

I can't figure it out. If I use Opera 12.14 x64 then put hotmail.com and log in, it goes right to the inbox. If I do the same thing in firefox or slimjet, I get the splash screen. Really weird.
There is obviously no need for the screen except to make you wait.

I don't get that. Could it be because you have so much spam? It does process the messages, and when I'd not been using my account for a while, it did that when I first logged in again. Currently, however, mine goes to a login portal, then directly into my inbox in less than a couple of seconds.
