I use a Hotmail (Microsoft) email account for impersonal mail, such as mailing lists and such. While it has never been elegant, I haven't expected too much, given that it is free for basic service. But in past months it has grown increasingly unreliable, to the point where I am now only able to sign on about 50% of the time that I try. This is a "level of service" is bordering absurd. Even for non-urgent email it is too inconvenient.
