I'm talking about what was originally hotmail.
New site is unnecessary slow. At such a level it can't be just a bug, but a feature.
You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.

Bug or feature, your choice.

Well, I guess I made my choice, already

I have no problems. Have had my Hotmail for around 25 years now... Still works perfectly now that it is Outlook.com!
It must just be you! I think Microsoft has it in for you!

My hotmail account dates back to 1999.
I don't say it does not work ; my point is just I have the feeling it has been made much slower to open the mailbox and display/access the subfolders, on purpose.

Interesting you should say it: Wonder if there's any way of seeing when the account was created? Probably not, but it could be fun to know... 
As for the speed, my Outlook is lightning fast, so once again, I wonder if it isn't a problem with your computer/browser/setup/internet connection etc...

I don't think it is due to the computer itself, or to the OS. Result is the same on three distinct machines, one Windows 7 Entreprise, one Windows 2012 Server R2 Entreprise, and one Windows 10 Professional. And Internet connection is not the cause either ; I would have noticed such an issue otherwise.
I did not try to switch to the paid version of outlook, as I'm kindly advised. Unfortunetaly, I clearly do not have any budget for it. I guess I just have to accept the fact. So I'm using the Lounge as convenient outlet

I just tried it here at work and it's has become noticeably slower and were running on a leased line Internet connection.

Opened my first hotmail account about a week ago. A temporary/throw-away until I could establish a secure connection whilst on vacation.
So far as I could tell, it was not slow. All I sent/received were deliberately vague text containing some info I needed for a VM connection, but a fraction of a second is a fraction of a second.

A few google searches send me to this site named "Quora"
I was curious what it was and went to the root page and.. they started a login process..
At this stage I just wanted to read the site and the mandatory login was very obnoxious...
(and it's a free site, as far as I could see...)
So far it's mandatory login to a site I don't even know to purpose of?!  
However, it was (apparently) mitigated by some OAuth mechanism, I could login with Facebook!
Great!
However, click facebook login, oh Quora need its own additional password as well!
WTF? One more password to forget... for something I don't care.... Bunch of $@###@#$!!
Screw you Quora!

Clicking the X on the tab should solve the problem.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I did close the site...
But there is no X in the page itself...
I just tried to open Quora in an incognito window, it appears login is mandatory...

Do you have firebug installed in your browser(firefox)? 
|
|
|
|
|
nope...
it might be a good thing to have in general!
But not doing much web dev at the moment anyway...
And also am not really interested in wasting time forcing my way into this obnoxious site...

|
|
Hey - that's exactly how I login to those sites, myself!

That's on my block list.
It's like expert sexchange, where "experts" (anyone with an internet connection) answer questions and then they pollute Google search results with them.
You can see the question but have to log in for the answer (or use firebug, if you're bored)

yeah looks like one of those obnoxious site...

As opposed to amateur, or do-it-yourself, or full-moon-induced, sex change ?
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Or spontaneous, for no reason, because we can etc.

It is an awful site for spamming you with garbage.

double excellent!
no wonder there is no good answer on Quora with such a poor experience! ^_^

I agree but I hate sites that will not load without javascript enabled more. I am more a "you're not running scripts until I know I can trust your site" kind of web surfer. If your site cannot work without scripts, your site will be passed over.
