Windows Live Mail FAQ
I have a lot of junk mail so am currently not logging into my account. Accounts used to get locked after 60 days and then expired after 90.
I used to wait 3 months until the account expires and then create it again. This often deters some of the spam emails as they get "not valid" retaurn messages.
Does anyone know if 3 months still the period?
It is now 4 months yet when I try to create the account the email address is still not available to use.
I recently received an email that was in my junk mail supposedly from Microsoft stating I needed to sign a new agreement to keep my hotmail account and other services from Microsoft. It needed information such as my home address, phone number. It also stated if I did not sign the agreement I would lose all microsoft products. I don't know if this is a scam but it sounded suspicious to me. Did Microsoft send out a document to all users. I can cut and paste it here if you want me to. Thank you.

I have a question about the new Microsoft Services Agreement in October 2012:
"The Microsoft branded services require that you sign into your Microsoft account periodically, at a minimum every 270 days, to keep the Microsoft branded services portion of the services active, unless provided otherwise in an offer for a paid portion of the services. If you fail to sign in during this period, we may cancel your access to the Microsoft branded services. If the Microsoft branded services are canceled due to your failure to sign in, your data may be permanently deleted from our servers."
Does Windows Live Mail do this for me automatically (sign me in) when I download and read my mail offline? Or, do I have to actually sign-in with my username and password occasionally?
