For the past couple of weeks I have been having trouble receiving emails from guests with hotmail accounts. I found out the explanation today. I thought I would post it here rather than the teccie bit in case anyone didn't read that far down
"A faulty server is apparently the root of the problem, according to a Microsoft customer service representative who confirmed the outage on Wednesday. The representative declined to immediately discuss the nature of the problem, when it began, or how many of Hotmail's 187 million users are affected.
The outage has caused intermittent access to Hotmail accounts for some consumers over the last couple of weeks and, more alarmingly, appears to have erased new and saved messages from in-boxes, according to several people who contacted ZDNet UK sister site CNET News.com about the problem. It is also the latest in a string of ongoing customer
complaints about the service."
I can get emails to hotmail, but cannot receive them, so hope this helps if you are wondering why some enquiries do not convert
e-mails from Hotmail accounts not getting through

No. They booked last year too, and used another email, so I've resent it to that one as well, but it's a yahoo address . Its' actually full payment now, as it's less than 6 weeks. I will call them tonight, and release the dates if they don't pay up. I got another booking last night-from a hotmail address.
