I have been trying that for several days on several different computers in Beijing as well badr.
Nothing. I can open my messenger but it will not connect to my hotmail.

Also I am finding all the free proxies I have located are also blocked. Most irritating.

Ever since Microsoft rolled out a week or so ago its "Windows Live" web service
(http://login.live.com/), I've been having trouble logging into hotmail. login.live.com seems to
be the central login server for all msn-related sites, but for some reason it is not accessible
from China (or at least it's often inaccessible). hotmail.com itself is accessible, but since you
are redirected to log in at login.live.com, hotmail.com is not useable at the moment.

https://login.live.com is accessible in Kunming - the Great Firewall blocks it if I get to that
page from hotmail.com, but works just fine if I go there first, then access any other services
that require a MSN passport. Firefox says the connection is reset when I try logging in from
hotmail.com first. So I don't think it is a problem on Microsoft's side.

In any case, if you have another way to access hotmail (such as through Outlook on the PC or
Entourage on the Mac), you can read your hotmail just fine. It is only the web access that is
blocked.

Amazingly just after posting above I just got access through MSN for the first time this week.....

since you got access, i suggest setting up a forward on your hotmail so that all received email
can go to another account (gmail is not a bad choice) and make your life (and the transition)
easier.

Panda's solution works:

(1) log in to https://login.live.com first (this is the new MSN log in)
(2) then go to http://hotmail.com

This should work. For some reason, http://login.live.com (http without the 's') seems to timeout
when hotmail is redirected to live.com for password checking, so you need to go there directly to
log in.

Or you can try logging in through live.com here:
https://login.live.com/login.srf?id=...=2052&_lang=CN
