Day 15? Day 16? We’ve lost count. Bottom line, Hotmail hasn’t worked in Shanghai since early May. Every day, Shanghaiist wakes up to news of more unread messages piling up in our account, and other than oh so gently wagging our middle finger in the direction of Redmond, WA (or Beijing?) there is little else we could do ... that is, until now! Thanks to the guys at 5dmail.net, we can check our email again, sort of.
Just click on the link below, select "Windows Live Mail Beta" and log in as you normally would. Tada!
Gotta go, have a few dozen unread messages to tend to.
