Here is the fix for now if you chose to upgrade and try the new Safari.
Once Safari is open go to Safari/Preference Menu. Once your in there go to the Advanced Tab and check the Option to "Show Develop menu in menu bar"
Now you can click back to Safari and you should see a Develop Menu in the Finder bar. Click on the Develop Menu and at the Top as one of the Menu Options scroll down to User Agent and choose a Firefox Selection.
Your Hotmail should now work accordingly and you should be able to read and answer emails.

this doesn't fix the issue with sending emails
Yes we noticed that as well and due to the fact that its a beta version of Safari we have found other issues with Hotmail as well. If you want to try other User Agents it won't hurt anything but for now we have been configuring most clients to use Apple Mail! You can now configure your Hotmail Account to directly receive and send emails within the Mail program. It works great and have not had any issues yet in doing this.
Here is some guidelines to setup in Apple Mail
POP3 server: pop3.live.com
SMTP server: smtp.live.com
Username: full e-mail address
Password: Windows Live ID password
Authentication and the use of SSL are required for both POP3 and SMTP protocols.
Good Luck
Thanks a lot for your precious assist in advance.
I set up my hotmail accounts as you guided in,but some how i can not send e mails thru my mail.
It warns me that''Cannot sent message using the server smtp.live.com ''.
I have no problems to receive mails, but sending is an dilemma for me.By the way i do not use safari 4, my macs run with safari3.
Awaiting for your comments on this topic and thanks
Here is something you should double check. Go to your Mail Settings and under the Advanced Tab make sure you have the Authentication set to Password and "Use SSL" is checked. You should also double check your Outgoing Server "Advanced" options and make sure that is set to "Password" as well and the information there is correct.
Good Luck
I checked them both SSL is checked and password is chosen in advanced section of mail already.
Where else i might doing wrong?
I am appreciated your efforts to helping me out,hopefully i will be able to use my mail accounts by your guidance.
