Apparently Microshaft has blocked Linux users from using Hotmail. I had
my account with them since day one. I have been receiving mail just fine

with the User Agent Switcher on Explorer 7 (Vista) emulation.
Not that I don't have other email accounts, just thought it was pretty
fucked up of them with being buddies with Novell.


Just figured the work around to this over in the Ubuntu newsgroup:

Bring up firefox
type "about:config" in url bar
search for "general.useragent.vendor"
change the string to "firefox" (it will probably be set at your
distribution's name)

I ran into the same problem using my (K)ubuntu systems and applying this
fixed cured the inability to enter in new emails etc. :-)

Nope. Still can't reply or compose email in hotmail. I guess I can close
that Microshaft account and be done with them forever.


I got curious and tried.

Yes, same symptoms first with FF 3.0.3.
They suggested that I'd upgrade which I didn't. I'll do that when it
comes from openSUSE :)

The firefox link on the upgrade is direct to the firefox site. :-)

I then changed the line as suggested above, from SUSE to Firefox.

Good to hear that someone else can confirm this for SUSE....I know it worked for my openSUSE version which I changed at the same time as my Ubuntu versions.

Thanks for letting us know. :-)



It worked, I had to sign out and back in though.
