Anyone else having trouble with Email between Yahoo & Hotmail?

Hotmail is not receiving emails from one yahoo.com address in particular. The address is in known/safe senders list but doesn't ever arrive. Mail out to yahoo is often reported as delayed. Mail from yahoo.co.uk addresses arrives in Hotmail ok though. Anyone else had similar issues or any joy with contacting postmaster@hotmail.com?

    Same problems, see all of my replies to similar questions. I reported to yahoo and hotmail and again today telling them it still hasn't been fixed. Asking to give me a good guess as to when. Yahoo is silent. Hotmail sent me this:

    I had this problem for 2 weeks at end of June, I reported it several times to yahoo and msn. it was resolved after a week or so but now today the 12th of July, they are delayed again from MSN to Yahoo, but like before, not from yahoo to MSN

    I thought it was just me as well. I've been having the same problem. I tried going thru yahoo's search page instead of msn's and it suddenly worked after 4 days, but it's probably a coincidence.

    Yes - I have a friend who uses hotmail as their primary account. Outgoing messages to me (I'm on Yahoo mail) are often delayed (usually by minutes, sometimes by hours) and occasionally just vanish - I never receive them. My messages to her are usually arriving promptly.
