For the past few days my WLM has been playing up when it comes to emails. It says in the window how many i have and everything, yet i never get alerts telling me when i receive an email anymore. Any way to fix that? D=

hm i think in your case you go to..
tools > options > alerts and sounds > alerts and check the box 'display alerts when email is received'

i dunno if that's the problem
i have a similar problem but rather the opposite
the email icon (just above the contact list) that displays the amount of unread emails i currently have, doesn't seem to work anymore.
let's say the email icon displays (3) when i log on to indicate that i have 3 new messages (emails)
i go to click and open the emails but the email icon with the (3) next to it remains the same.
even after i've deleted the emails.
and if i log on with no new emails, i have to regularly check myself to see if i have received any new emails, and that can get annoying.
especially when it's important.

this happens on both of my computers.

i'm guessing it could be MSN plus, but i'm not too sure on that, either.

@ The Alpha Gamer, if your status is Busy, alerts and sounds of Messenger is disabled. Make sure it is not Busy. If not, then try  uninstalling that Netvibes thing or disable its hotmail module etc.

@YST, do you have Windows Live Mail program installed on your both computers? If yes, then does your Messenger's e-mail buttons/links open that program or open Hotmail in a web browser? Because I am guessing your problem is caused by Windows Live Mail.

I had the same issue as YST.  The mail icon would not update and there weren't any notifications when I received new mail.

Uninstalling and then reinstalling Messenger Plus! Live fixed the problem.

ok i think i have spoke too soon
after switching on my computers the next day, the problem came back. And this time repairing or uninstalling no longer fixes it
sigh

I have the same problem. My mail button's e-mail count doesn't update and I don't get notifications for new email. I think that is server related and I tried without Plus! as well and the problem is still there. I never believed it is caused by Plus! anyway. I sent an email to my test account and I will update this post if I have the same problem with that too.

Edit: I had the same problem with my test account.

Mines doing the opposite. It updates and i get the notifications i have a new e-mail but when i go onto my hotmail account it says i have no new e-mails. Ive checked every folder i have and theres nothing there. Yet msn insists i have new e-mails.

By ant chance are you using WLM 9.0?

It happens to one of my mates and he has WLM 9.0 seems to be a problem and I am sure they will sort it as its still in beta

yes i am having same problem not recieving emails until i log out and back in also read deleted mail still shows that i have mail in msn,their must be a fix to this.....

Im using 8.5 as well

is it happening to you also its ony started over the last 2 weeks for me.

yeh and the last week its happend to me. Plus half the time the tabs on the side dont load on my msn and it takes ages to sign in. I think the server is having issues. just gotta wait it out

For what it's worth, someone on some french forum solved this problem by removing his Live ID from his XBox Live GamerTag...

And I solved it by unlinking my WL ID from other IDs. However I still cannot be sure if this was the problem because I think I had the problem again with my account afterwards.
