There are some web links for hotmail fixes on Yahoo-gle, however nothing new. 2013 is the latest fix. I'm not sure if it will help, but you can try:

http://www.winrumors.com/outlook-hotmail-connector-updated-with-bug-fixes/

 

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Windows-Live-Announces-Hot-New-Updates-fo...

 

Open new email account at Yahoo-gle, and transfer your contacts from Hotmail to Y!. It works well for me last 10 years. I have one with US residential address, and Y! (mail) might be different than ones with other countries (China) addresses.

Righto, thanks for the news.  It's blocked for me and it's not for the fella I had a drink with last night.  What happens is it threatens to open, then it opens for half a second then it's gone with the cannot display to website message.  So I don't think it's windows 10.  And I don't think it's Xin.  I think they've blocked me and if so it's not the first time.  A couple of years ago they did the same thing.  I know for a fact they read my emails so I can only think I've offended somebody and now I'm being punished.  Paranoid?  Moi?  No.  They're paranoid!  Ken arseholes!   Makes ya wanna blow someone up.

I think, the easiest to yourself is if you don't think it's personal. Just be aware, what are you saying/surfing, because constant  watch is on, as 'Up-yours' showed us.

I'm toying with PGP, software email encryption, for which some news were saying 'only terrorists and dope dealers use PGP'.surprise

I'm straight on Internet, no different than in real life, so PGP might not be needed for my emails and surfing, butT.....let's 'mastards' earn their watch-you-money.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
