I have 2 Hotmail accounts on my computer. I can only seem to be able to open 1 of them.When I try to get into the other hotmail account message comes up that says Server not found.However I do have an Ipod and I can open both accounts and check my emails on that. I want to be able to open both my hotmail accounts on my computer like I used to be able to do. I've been on multiple forums but can't seem to get an answer of what I should do to accomplish this. Can anyone help me with this?

You should be able to open both accounts. I believe Hotmail T&C may expect you to have only one account, but possibly multiple alliases.

You may have problems opening two separate hotmail accounts at once in Firefox. Try using a new private browsing window for the second one. With any look that will separate them enough for you to use both at once.

(With other account holders permission.) I sometimes open my own and another persons hotmail account by that method.

I tried that but it didn't work.
