I had 2 hotmail email accounts.  My secondary email that I used for social media, advertisements and "stuff" ( still very important) no longer has any previous email, contacts, etc! NOTHING at all and is treating me like I am a new member. I had all of my emails being forwarded from this account to my primary account and never had issues before. It has been a while since I logged in directly.  I didnt feel the need to as I was receiving all my emails. Had I known that my account would be somewhat deleted, I would have had no problem logging in or doing the necessary to keep things "normal." I've had this account for 4+ years and am so dissapointed! Is there any hope? I tried the recover deleted email option with no change. Im thinking about just making all the switches to gmail? Anyone else going through the same issues? Any solutions? Please help. =)
