I set up 2 hotmail email addresses around 3 years ago for the children so I could send pics of them as little ones and have sent hundreds of emails since. Have just checked by logging in to both accounts on outlook and everything has gone. I appreciate this is a free service and yes I should have backed things up but if anyone can help me to try and recover all these precious pictures then I would be so very grateful as we have lost so much.

I would like to be able to select a default font and color.  I can't find any means to do this.  It's frustrating since I lost my Hotmail account to find myself in the position of having to set the font EVERY SINGLE time I want to send an e-mail.  What am I missing? 
I have been getting emails on my Hotmail account that aren't even addressed to me.  How do they end up in my inbox and how can I stop them?
Hello to all, I am receiving a message; You account is locked because you have violated Microsoft rules etc. or words to that effect.  I have done a search and it seems this is a phising scam that when opened uploads a Trojan/Worm....   can anyone help....it's killing me.

I am having trouble with my Outlook email.  My toolbar often does not appear or does not work.  When it is present and I click on a function, the circular arrow just keeps running and nothing processes.  Can anyone help me?  Even if I shut-down and re-access my email, it still does not work.

 

  Thank you, Anne

I received an email from Microsoft Account Team with the title ' Microsoft Account Password Reset‏' , though I have not requested for the password reset at all. I am a bit suspicious about this email as the sender has a funny hotmail account. Below is the instruction followed by 2 URLs to click on either to confirm or to cancel the reset.

I did not take any action yet before I confirm that it is safe to do so.

 

 

Did you request a Password Reset? Someone requested a reset for your Windows Live ID password. Follow the instructions below to reset your password, or to cancel your password reset request or to disable your account

 

Just wonder if this is the legitimate email sent by the Microsoft Team and how did someone request for a reset other than myself . Any help will be appreciated. 

why can't I read my emails anymore?  I have to keep refreshing and it still won't open my emails or the ones stored in folders?
Greetings,

I was using my account Friday evening, trying to get very important air tickets, and my account was suddenly closed! 
All I did was hop over to my gmail for a moment, and when I went to log back in to my email account "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***", my account reported closure.

We needed to go through this only last month because I sent some overseas emails for my daughters wedding.
I desperately need help reopening the account as soon as possible so I can get my air tickets and fly over to Africa this upcoming month!

Please reopen my account for me! I desperately need those emails. And can someone please explain to me what I have been doing that keeps causing these horribly inconvenient closures?

Sincerely,
Janet Arone
Last Friday I finally succumbed and got a Smartphone !! It runs on Android and includes G-Mail. I added my Hotmail/Outlook account to G-Mail (I also access the account through Windows Live Essentials Mail). G-Mail synchronised with my Hotmail account and now my Hotmail Inbox is completely empty; everything seems to have disappeared.  What is going on ? I can't be the only person in the world to be running G-Mail on a mobile alongside Hotmail/Outlook.  
Using the "linked with" I created what I thought was a group. Somehow it used a contact's name as the group name. Now I can't delete or change this. Your instructions don't work.
