Why does hotmail go to 'can't find page' so often when a mail is sent? Then one has to activate 'detect network settings' to continue?

A few thoughts from another Hotmail user with similar experiences. This will happen more often if you have any automatic updates enabled or anything else that uses your internet connection for updates like Windows or AntiVirus updates. Instead of clicking detect network settings, click back and then refresh before trying to send your message. If you need to compose a lengthy message, compose it using Notepad or similar text editor then copy & paste it into your message to keep from losing your work.

Hotmails mail view times out. I have experience this countless times. If the mail is long or you wait too long before selecting a link within the received email it will have timed out and you'll always get that message. Two solutions I use are, while view the email refresh with IE refresh button. Sometimes it will not and you have to go back to the inbox and open the mail again. However, if you do get it back after refreshing the link will always work (provided you don't wait too long again!)
