HTTP 400 Bad Request When Trying to Read Email in outlook.live.com
This one is for any experts in using outlook.live.com (ex hotmail.com) website.
As the title says, I am now unable to open/read any emails (inbox, sent, junk etc) in outlook.live.com website!?
On every attempt to read any messages I now get the error "HTTP 400 Bad Request" window appearing with the additional message "The webpage cannot be found". !?
This has just happened recently. Previous night I was able to read emails etc just fine, but the following day I was no longer able to read emails anymore!?
Briefly, the email address WAS hotmail.com but Microsoft changed the address to live.com or outlook.live.com a few years ago. I still login to the email account using my hotmail.com name.
I checked with a local PC repair shop, and they advised that they could open my account and read my mail, so the issue seems to be something to do with my home computer setup. However, I did note that there was a message appearing briefly to the effect that Microsoft had just done something to their system according to user requests when the PC shop technician went to outlook.live.com.
So this change to outlook.live.com might have caused the issues I'm now having with being unable to read emails any longer!?
I am running Windows 7 SP1 32 bit with Internet Explorer 9 as the browser being used for emails. But I am still on a slow dial-up connection. I've found that outlook.live.com is being run under "lite" mode which suits me fine, because the email page usually loads in just a matter of seconds! Otherwise it literally takes more than 10 minutes to load the "full" or "normal" email web pages!
I've cleared browser cache, cookies, and temporary files, and run SFC /scannow (with no issues found). I've also "reset" IE9. But the issue still remains! I am unable to read any emails anymore using IE9.
Note that I CAN log in to my account using another browser (Vivaldi) and I CAN read my emails. However Vivaldi browser loads the FULL or NORMAL email page which literally takes at least 10 minutes to load, which is extremely inconvenient! I can't select "lite" email mode via Vivaldi either.
So I still prefer to use IE9 in "lite" email mode to save time in loading the email pages.
What to do now?
