Clicking hotmail link doesn't bring up inbox

This happened to me exactly the same way today when using my Chromebook at school, but when I returned home to my Windows desktop pc I found normal operation of x-notifier using Chrome, Opera and Firefox browsers to open my Hotmail inbox. I assumed Microsoft was being cranky with my choice to use the Chrome OS, but I will check it out again Monday when I return to campus where I rely on the Chromebook.

Sometimes corporate systems trying to pass a message results in a faulty implementation.

If I remember right, something like this happened to me, and it took me a while, but either I dug around, or finally noticed a small sentence saying something required my attention.  Perhaps a billing notice.

So... just saying... look at the page you're redirected to, and the details/settings of your account to see if anything requires attention... billing, etc.  Or it may be some odd server update not quite right... which may eventually clear itself.
Not sure X-Notifier could fix it, if it's only one or a few users... until it rolls out to more/all.
If it's not happening to Tobwithu, the developer... he'd have to see an account that had the problem.

Logged onto campus wifi with my Chromebook this morning and instead of redirection my hotmail inbox opened when I clicked the hotmail link.

one of my hotmail...
not checking...
So I do manually open Hotmail...
and I got legal notice policy update and accept agreement.
After that X-notifier start working again.

That what RpD talk about, see above.
