Unable send or receive hotmail emails today

Today, after a number of attempts, I am unable to send or receive hotmail emails.  The system lets me in but it takes a long time to partially upload the folders in my account.  The graphics displayed remain very basic and if I click on an email inside any of the folders, in order to read or send the email in question, nothing happens.  The only section that's working is the settings section that includes my personal details.  For some reason this is unaffected.  The rest just doesn't work. Logging out is another nightmare, very slow.  My emails are in the system but I cannot access them.  Nor can I see the contents of any of the folders except for the Inbox folder.

Please reply to the alternative email account I have of:
