Can't sign in to MSN mail

My msn software has been down since Friday 9/26/08. I have tried everything
but can not get my mail through msn. Things are sitting in my outbox as
well. I can sign on to internet explorer and get my mail through hotmail but
I don't like that page at all. Is anyone else having this problem? If so,
what do I need to do?

Thanks,
