I faced a similar problem as (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-networking/retrieve-deleted-account-hotmail-account-was/b5390314-bc7f-e011-9b4b-68b599b31bf5) 

I believe my account was not active and when hotmail was migrated over to outlook, it was either deleted or suspended. I need to log into to my hotmail account as I have a few important emails in there which I desperately need to retrieve. 

my hotmail account is: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

Can someone kindly advise?
