I want to use Hotmail as my default email. However, Windows 7 Default Program does not list it. What can I do?
  In brief, I have been using hotmail since 8 years.unfortunately,  i have n't used for a while. I have important data in it. Now,  Iam seeing last six months emails only. Hope, hotmail is archving old data. Whom should i contact to get my old data?  Please provide details.
 I cannot block one header and get any others because each header and content is different - so I delete eachindividually each day and come back to a mountain of deletes if I go away

I have recieved an email allegedly from WindowsLive and Hotmail Security Team.

*** Email address is removed for privacy ***.

Saying that I need to click on a link to verify my email. Is this a scam of security threat to me or is it genuine??

 

Many thanks

As of 6/29 my Windows Live Hotmail is not picking up emails from my Gmail account. Everything's the same--have not changed any settings. It has worked great for over a year, until now.  What can I do?
It does not happen very often, but I sometimes get bogus contacts in my Outlook address book.  They are coming from my Hotmail account since I have the Hotmail interface to Outlook.  I can delete them in Outlook and it somehow synchronizes the delete over in Hotmail.  But the really weird thing about it is that many of them have the word "camp" in their name.  In fact most of them.  Who are these "camp" people and how can I stop them from hijacking my contact list?  I have Windows Vista with all the updates.  Any information that you have would be greatly appreciated.
