I signed in to my account today to find ALL my emails missing, except for a new "Welcome to your new Outlook.com" message. My inbox was upgraded to Outlook.com a couple of months ago at least and by knowing that I have obviously logged in within the last 270 days. I retained my old @live.co.uk email address when I upgraded. I have already checked the deleted messages auto-recovery link which turned up empty. Conversation threading is not enabled.

The same thing has also happened to another account. The e-mails on both of these addresses are extremely sentimental. I hadn't made any backups of the emails as they have never been set up with a POP/IMAP client and I believed Hotmail/Outlook.com to be a reliable service.

Is there ANYTHING that can be done to try and retrieve these? I'm not very hopeful (I doubt you'll be looking through server backups to bring them back for me)
