I am having problems with my regular Hotmail account.  So I am considering upgrading to Hotmail Plus because I don't like Outlook and because right now I am going to school online and they don't want me to change my e-mail address in the middle of the year.  But I want to make sure that if I upgrade, I won't lose all the saved e-mails in folders, and the e-mail I have opened and not deleted.  So, I need to get my question answered and when I call support, no one seems to be able to answer my simple question.  All they want to do is access my computer, and I am not ready to allow that yet.  Thank you for your help.
Hello,

After I inadvertently clicked on the right side bar where says,
Go beyond email with
outlook.com
upgrade now for free

automatically switched me instantly to outlook.com

I was in the middle of composing an email so I clicked the back button and finished composing.
After clicking send it switched to outlook.com
I found the gear icon and switched back to standard Hotmail.
That is when my inbox started to "Group messages by conversation"

Why did my Hotmail inbox revert to "Group messages by conversation" after this happened?
Is there away to permanently eliminate this ad side bar? The clicking area it quite large and is easy to inadvertently click on.

Thanks

Everytime I go to my hotmail/live email account it makes my Windows Live Messenger sign out and then shut down.

When receiving emails from a friend, empty outlines of the pictures sometimes appear instead with those little missing picture logos's in the middle. If I click  reply, they appear, but if I click cancel to go back to normal, they disappear again. Usually it doesn't happen the fist time I open it, but happens every time after.
