Safari Acts Up When I Go to Hotmail

Hello,



When I go to Hotmail on Safari, the URL keeps changing into different URLs and does not connect to Hotmail. The problem is fixed when I delete any Hotmail cookies, but keeps on coming back so that I have to keep deleting the cookies.



How can I fix this?



Thanks.

    Kind of a cop-out answer, but you can sign up for a free Gmail account and have Gmail pop your hotmail emails into its webmail system (then pop down to the mac/pc if that is what you prefer).



    Bad idea?

    Lol, not a terrible idea, but I'd rather stick with Hotmail. There must be a fix for this, seeing as thousands of Mac users are on Hotmail...

    What version of Safari are you using? I occasionally use Safari (2.0.4) but haven't had the problems you describe.



    Another alternative is to change browsers. I use camino and have no issues connecting to hotmail.

    Camino? I'll try that... BTW, a couple of my friends are having the same problem. Kinda strange.

    My hotmail acts strange sometimes. The display size changes but I've not had problems logging on. I use Safari pretty infrequently so I'm not the best person to talk about Safari though.

    i use hotmail all the time in Safari, but recently it behaves inconsistent, but logging/checking/deleting/sending emails no problem
