Hotmail Alerts Stopped Working

I recently installed Live Messenger 2008, primarily for the Hotmail alerts.
This seemed to be working fine until today, and it just stopped sending me
alerts. Couldn't find any settings or troubleshooting tips, so thought I'd
ask here. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks,
Todd

Re: Hotmail Alerts Stopped Working

Greetings Todd,

The Hotmail alerts are actually completely done server side, there is no way to tweak or
otherwise break them. As such, if they've broken, there isn't much you can do.

In most cases where people have reported this, it simply starts working again.
