A pesar de que gmail ha mostrado mejores y nuevos avances para que los usuarios tengan un mejor servicio de correo electrónico, la verdad es que los usuarios no expertos prefieren utilizar a hotmail, ya que se encuentran a este mucho más atractivo, y es también que la mayoría de los que logran que estos se inicien en el mundo del internet y la utilización de correos electrónicos son usuarios del correo hotmail.
Resulta que la gran mayoría de usuarios novatos que se aventuran a crear una cuenta de correo electrónico lo hacen por recomendaciones de amigos y relacionados, que utilizan cuentas de hotmail y por ende lo inducen a crearse una cuenta de esta plataforma de correo electrónico, y esto es una gran desventaja que tiene gmail para con hotmail.
Otra de las cosas que no benefician a gmail para que los usuarios de hotmail se muden a su plataforma es la simplicidad de esta, y es que esos usuarios se han acostumbrado a todos los aditamentos que le proporciona hotmail y los cuales a los usuarios expertos no les agradan, pero a los usuarios inexpertos y que resultan una gran mayoria, son de los grandes atractivos que le encuentran a esta plataforma de correo electrónico.

Troubleshoot connectivity problems
If you have problems when you sign in to Windows Live Messenger, try any of the following troubleshooting techniques to correct the issue:
Check your Messenger connection settings:
If you can't sign in to Messenger, the connection settings (Settings associated with your Internet connection.) in Messenger might be preventing you from connecting to Windows Live ID or .NET Messenger Service.
1. Select Tools, and then click Options.
2. Under Connection, click Advanced Settings.
3. In the Settings dialog box, click Test in the HTTP section. When the test results appear in the Connection Tester dialog box, click OK.
4. Click OK, and then click OK again.
5. Use the test results to determine which settings are causing the connection issue.
Check your Internet connection settings:
Visit another website to confirm that you're connected to the Internet. If the website does not open, contact your ISP (Internet service provider. A company that provides access to the Internet.) for assistance in connecting to the Internet. If you previously connected through a dial-up network, check your Internet connection settings.
1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3. Click the Connections tab.
4. Click Dial whenever a network connection is not present.
Check your firewall settings:
If your firewall (A security feature designed to help protect a computer from unauthorized external access. It can be hardware, software, or both.) is set to block Messenger, you'll be unable to sign in to Messenger.
To resolve this issue, try the following:
1. Visit the MSN Web Messenger website.
2. Click Start MSN Web Messenger, and then try to sign in.
3. If you can sign in to MSN Web Messenger, Messenger may be blocked by a firewall.
4. If your computer is running third-party (non-Microsoft) software or firewall software, make sure that the software is set to allow Messenger to operate, and then try to sign in to Messenger again.
Clear Windows Live Messenger proxy settings:
1. Start Messenger.
2. Select Tools, and then click Options.
3. Under Connection, click Advanced Settings.
4. Under SOCKS, delete the entries.
5. Click OK, and then click OK again.
Adjust the Windows Internet Explorer proxy settings:
1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3. On the Connections tab, click LAN Settings.
4. Clear the Automatically detect settings check box.
5. Click OK, and then click OK again.
