I have used Hotmail for years and never had a problem in just the last few days I noticed When I send an email only 50% of the items sent are shown in my sent folder? How do I remedy?

Original title: Hotmail to outlook
I have been trying for the past hour to cancel my Hotmail account. I get to the step about needing to cancel my 'billing services'. I have no idea what this is talking about. I have had this email for 10 years and I simply want to cancel the account. I have never added any type of bill to this service. Can someone help my delete my Hotmail account please!!

Original title: My hard drive crashed and had to be replaced.  I restored from a back up of the old hard drive.  Windows Live Mail no longer works.

 

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate. 
My hard drive crashed and had to be replaced.  I restored everything I could from my backup, which included mail, data, photos, etc., but not most of my programs. 

When I try to run Windows Live Mail, I get this message:
"Windows Live Mail could not be started.  Unable to update your message databases. 

An updated version of Windows Live Mail was successfully installed.  However, due to changes in the program, your existing accounts could not be fully updated.   Your existing email and newsgroup messages have been moved to a folder in your Inbox called Recovered Folders.   Your Windows Live Mail mailbox data is currently being used by another program, such as a virus scanner.   Close the program or wait for it to complete its operation, then open Windows Live Mail again (0x80070005)

OK'

At this point, whether or not I close my anti-virus, I then get this message:

"Windows Live Mail could not be started.  Windows Live Mail may not be installed correctly, or your computer is low on memory.
OK"

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Windows Live Mail 2012.  Memory usage is not a problem (CPU usage 0%, physical memory 22%).



 

WHEN I START MY COMPUTER I CAN OPEN LIVE MAIL ,IF I LEAVE I CANNT OPEN IT AGAIN.

THE ONLY WAY I CAN GO BACK IS TO RESTART MY COMPUTER....????


Original title: WINDOWS LIVE MAIL

I opened Windows Live Mail and found all my folders missing, deleted items before today gone and nothing in the sent items folder.  It appears that all the emails I had in my specific folders were moved back to the Inbox and I can still open them.  Of course without the specific folders all the message rules are also missing the specified folder and will not work until fixed.  I noticed automatic compacting took place when I last closed WLM.

 

I have now unchecked the box for compacting.  However, I do not understand why compacting would delete my folders.  Does anyone know why?  Also is compacting designed to automatically delete and remove everything in the sent and delete folders?

 

Finally, does WLM have a recovery method to return me to the point immediately before compacting?  Sure would save me a lot of time. 

Can someone please help me??I have been locked out of my LIVE account for 2 days and I'm simply going around in circles trying to have a password reset. You're asking me information about the account that I simply don't remember - previous passwords, emails I've sent, email addresses of people I know??? Why would I remember this stuff when it's all automatically at my finger tips when I can access my email. I leave myself signed in so I don't have to remember the password. There is no way of talking to a human being and people are just fobbed off in a system that works against the customer. Please send me a temp password to my hotmail account so I can access my LIVE email. This is ridiculous!!

Regards,

April
Since three days my entire contact email list from Hotmail and now in the hated Outlook has disappeared.  When you want to start an email no email appears and when you click on the arrow to the right of Outlook there is nothing there at all other than Help and feedback.
Hello there, I can sign into my account but after that it say's that "it appears there might have been someone else using your account", so then I can't go any further and I have tried to recover it and verify it by filling out the form and by ringing up as well and no luck with that. Could someone help me as I have a lot of important contracts and I don't want to make a new account? Thanks - Mark Bartlett
I get kicked off outlook when trying to send pictures or uploading to skydrive???
