When I try to access my email today I get a message saying the site is untrusted.  This happens when I try to go directly to my hotmail/outlook account and when I try by clicking on outlook from the MSN homepage.  The first part of the message I receive is in Firefox is:

This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to snt146.mail.live.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.

And in Chrome I receive this message:

This is probably not the site you are looking for!
You attempted to reach snt146.mail.live.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself asmail.live.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration on the server or by something more serious. An attacker on your network could be trying to get you to visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version ofsnt146.mail.live.com.
You should not proceed, especially if you have never seen this warning before for this site.
