My Hot was automatically switched to Outlook a few months ago, but I still use the Hotmail address. Everything was working properly until lat week whn Hotmail(Outlook) will no longer send any email attachments. I have Windows 7 64-bit anfd Internet Explore8 8. What should I do to get Hotmail to start sending attachments again?
Hi All, 

My inbox automatically deletes messages once they get a certain age old? I am also missing my sent items prior to 2009? 

This has occurred since the switch to outlook from Hotmail. 

Previously my messages would stay in my inbox indefinitely until they were deleted. Now this is not the case? Can you please advise how I can return to this setting and recover all my sent emails on my Hotmail account.

Many thanks, 

 
hello i recently have linked accounts to one major account but found out the hotmail became outlook i lost the access to my other accounts and i really need one particular account, i tried to set it up has my close friends send my specific emails to my account so that when i fill out the form it will go through but even with the info it denied my form and blocked access to my account, how can i get my account back and what do i have to do?

About a moth ago I started having a problem sending or receiving emails from my PC or IPhone from anyone that was using an MSN.COM email address.  The email goes into my sent folder as if it was sent but it is never recived by the party on the other end and I do not receive emails from them.  My Iphone OS is 7.03 and my hotmail server is bay-m.hotmail.com and the Domain says optional.

 

I would be willing to upgrade the account to an MSN or Outlook account if that resolves the problem.

 

Thank you for any assistance you can give me.

Below you can read the answer of the two dopes who work on this site. One, Marvelous Merc, informs me that there is a limit to how many emails I can send out -- BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO SEND A SINGLE EMAIL from this account which was blocked since inception. The 2nd numbnuts sends me back to the help desk which I have been trying to get help from since the beginning --  to no avail at all. Meanwhile, all somebody has to do is unblock my account which was blocked for absolutely no good reason, as there was no unusual activity on the account -- I just started it!  UNREAL. I am returning my windows phone that started all this, I mean, if these idiots make it so difficult to open an outlook email account, imagine how they will screw up phone support.
My Account has been Blocked for three weeks -- GREAT JOB HOTMAIL!
I recently bought a windows phone, and I set up a hotmail account for this phone shortly after, maybe 3 weeks ago. For some strange reason, Outlook temporarily blocked my account, citing unusual activity. I don;t see how this is possible, since I just started the account and never used it. They sent me to verify my account with a phone number. Unfortunately, the geniuses who set up this phone verification do not consider Sierra Leone, where I am, to be a country, and so I cannot verify my account, which 3 weeks later is still blocked. I have sent numerous emails to the help desk,  and recently I got this answer from MERC, who is an advanced specialist. This dunderhead tells me that there is a limit to how many emails I can send at the start of an account (see below). However, I have not been able to send a SINGLE email from this account, since they blocked it almost immediately.  Today, I get another message from Hotmail advising me to verify my account -- which of course I have done many times and can;t because the experts at Hotmail do not recognize that Sierra Leone, in West Africa, is a country.

All they have to do is unblock my account, which I have asked them to do many times. But that would be too simple for the advanced support team that includes Marvelous Merc. Have never had anything similar happen to gmail accounts. Now i regret buying a windows phone -- as who knows how lousy that support system is?

Hi, 

I am Merc, I'm a Senior Support Analyst for Microsoft. I am part of the Outlook.com Support Escalations Team.
We apologize that your country is not listed on the country list to verify your account through your mobile phone. You can send a feedback regarding this on this page.
Regarding the sending limit, you will have to continue using the account but please note that since your account is new, there is a daily limit to your sending capabilities.
Continue using the account to increase your reputation and this limit will increase.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Thanks!
Merc

    Before migrating my old email address to outlook.com I had an old @live.com address (connected to hotmail) which I currently need to gain access to. I have some other accounts that used that email address and in order to use the password reset feature on those accounts I need to gain access to the email address to access the password reset links. Is there a way to still access my old account? The companies of the accounts I need to access can't verify the email, so they won't be able to change it over the phone.
    I'm having issues with Hotmail's spell check.  It used to work just fine.  Then it began underlining in red spell errors and when you corrected just one of many, all the underlined erred portions of text had the red lining removed.  Now I can have ten misspellings in an e-mail being types and none of them get underlined.  What's goin on?

    Blackberry was synced to state outlook...was surplused and all content wiped. Will not sync to hotmail account...seems to be requiring some  kind of security that I don't need as an individual.

    when closing my email account, it told me I had to de-activate Hotmail ( or something like that) and I did.  but it didn't display a confirmation scree.  instead, my inbox showed a welcome message from Hotmail!  I mistakenly activated BILLING at one point and never could undo it.  perhaps that's what is causing this problem.  I do hope you can permanently close my account.  thank you.
