When I sign into my account I cannot see my inbox.

I get the Microsoft account page containing the Overview, Notifications etc, but cannot see any way to access my emails.

    Same problem here.... Having had the same email account for over 15 years I think its time to move on and find a provider that doesnt make it virtually impossible to accesss your account.

    Thanks Microsoft... another example of a great idea ruined.

    Hi troybrandon,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community. I’m happy to assist you with your concern about not being able to access the inbox of your email account.

    I understand how annoying this can be for you. Upon entering the code, did the system prompted an error message? If yes, please provide us the complete error message. We need to determine and isolate the source of the issue first before we can provide you an accurate solution. 

    We're looking forward to your response.

    Thank you.

    Hey there i got a similar problem with entering my code i have done it twice already entering it into an account i just made to get into my original account, since i figured i wouldn't have to go through the security and red tap with the new one. However even with the code i can't access the new accounts inbox, long story short i was wrong an have been unable to check my main account cause i can't access the inbox of my alternative account. i've tried a different browser and the optimizing performance as well, though i'm hearing alot of my friends complaints about similar issues. Making me think did you guys screw up somewhere, things really shouldn't be this hard i've had this account for ten years an this is the worst time i've had yet...

    I'm at my wits end with Hotmail. So often i get locked into my account details (where I had no intention of going) and have no way to access my inbox despite the verification having been done that it is my account. It does not clear up sometimes for a day or two. Please help its very frustrating to waste so much of time on one email address. 

    Why can't hotmail be more user-friendly and simply have an access point, (as Gmail does) from the account page, so that once the account is verified we can go straight to our mail. Please suggest it to them. Thanks.:)
