Hotmail has seemed to combine my contacts by name (for example, John, John B, John C are now all listed as one person with all information for each itemized).
I cannot seem to un-combine them. It has now affected my mobile phone - which is a windows phone - Nokia Lumina 822.
I have several HUNDRED contacts and do not wish to go through each one to "un link" them. There has to be a better way!

I received an email from a friend into my Rogers email inbox from his Hotmail account giving as the subject "Hotmail". In the text box, appeared an http address and then below it, my friend's message. When I opened the http address thinking that he wanted me to look at something, it turned out to be the access straight into MY Hotmail account right into the InBox showing all my emails etc., also access to Sent etc.
When I contacted him, he knew nothing about it and when I asked him to check his message in his Sent box, there it was, exactly as I have said. He was astounded and erased it.
What has happened here? I have erased all of my messages in my Hotmail account both sent and received and am now frightened to use it.
I am receiving a phone bill for this person, they apparently have the exact same email address....could this have happened when Hotmail accounts were switched over to outlook? I have repeatedly called the phone company to inform them of this....and I am constantly having to use my security "question" to change my password ( I am assuming because the other person is typing in the wrong password).
What do I do? I have had my Hotmail account for YEARS!!!!

I'm trying to setup my Hotmail account on my brand new iPad using iOS 6.1.3.
I'm using the Hotmail option to add the account. After adding my Hotmail credentials, Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders fail to update. When I go back into Settings to double-check thing, and tap the Hotmail account, the Settings app hangs for a
bit, then crashes. I try opening Mail again, and it crashes, too. I can access other settings, including the iCloud account settings under Mail. It's just tapping on the Hotmail settings that causes the problem.
This is a several years old account. So I set up a new Outlook.com account, and I'm able to add and use it without a problem. Changing the settings on the working Outlook.com account to use the Hotmail logins causes the crashing again.
The only way to remove the 'stuck' Hotmail account is to factory reset the iPad.
I believe it's something to do with specifically with my old Hotmail account. I have a paid Hotmail account, though I have no idea if that makes a difference.
I called Apple about it. And while they agree it's certainly odd (probably a bug) that the Hotmail account locks things up so badly, they say that due to the fact that I can't reproduce the issue with other Microsoft accounts, that it's an issue with my
Hotmail account and that I need to contact Microsoft for assistance.
Thanks
I had to get a new password for my hotmail yesterday. a notification popped up on my phone which said "unable to sign into Hotmail" I had not been trying to do that, I was having a phone conversation. When I finished, I tried on my phone to access my
email, to no avail... So I tried my computer and the same thing....the password was wrong. I had been using this password for a long time. I made a new password and I can now get in.. But I am confused as to why this happened in the first place. Does this
mean my account my have been compromised?
As others have experienced, I am finding that my full list of Hotmail contacts did not transfer over when I made the switch to Outlook. Some of these email addresses are essential and were only saved in Hotmail. Please help! I need them back!
Yesterday, my hotmail sign in prompted me for security updates. I added an alias to a new outlook account. Now my Hotmail account seems to have been inactivated, and is now inaccessable, and unusable!! All my old e-mail transfered to my Outlook account.
New Hotmail e-mails are not being delivered, just bouncing back. Help! I need to access my Hotmail account!!
I agree 100%. Hotmail was fine. I too am loath to change my email address however if the junk continues then I will certainly change to something else. Surely the bvrains at Microsoft could find another way to satisfy their greed!
