Just yesterday, I thought I need new hotmail address for social network. I did. A new account @hotmail.com. After that, I found aliases which is nice feature for muti-email address. HOWEVER, the nice "feature" leads to my old hotmail being totally WIPE OUT. 

Steps:

1. Get new hotmail - it's great, but found aliases might works better.

2. Close/Deactive new hotmail - I want that specific name for the aliases

3. After "Deactivate", I got instant log out from outlook.com - so far so good.

3. Log in my old hotmail account - boom, "Deactivate" page show up. I click cancel, it back to login page.

4. Log in my old account, I saw my email. It seems fine. But when I click account setting, It pop up my new created outlook accout. - So some how, the new created account is "linked" and mess up with my old hotmail accout.

5. After a few log in/out with my old hotmail account, I finally get to the right account setting page.

6. And the last log out and then log in, I got error with my hotmail account. I feel something went wrong. When I finally got in to my old hotmail account, the inbox...everything is gone. 

Ok, my question is how can I RECOVER my email back?
