Hotmail Works in Safari (Screenshot & How-To)

[Scifience]

See...Hotmail does work, and it is very easy to fix. Scroll down for how-to.

1. Go to the application menu and choose Preferences.
2. Choose the Security option.
3. Select the dot next to Always (for cookies).
4. Close the window.
5. Exit Safari, and open it again.
6. Hotmail will now work.

Why? Hotmail (and Passport in general) uses multiple servers as part of the logon process, and therefore receives cookies from domains other than the one you are currently viewing. Safari's default setting does not allow for this.

Also, for all the people complaining about not having a status bar, it is very simple to get. Go to the View menu, and choose Status Bar.

Overall, I think that Apple made a wonderful browser. I personally have NO need whatsoever for tabs. All I want is a window that remembers its position! Then, I'll be happy. Safari is my default browser anyway, though.

I suspected such was the problem, but then again, I basically only use my hotmail account as a spam bucket so I haven't tried to play with the options and things enough to fix it yet.

Thanks for the tip.

It only works the first tiem though. If you try to log on again, it will refuse.
