Tried to add an account in my own domain as an alias, then canceled the live.com domain management account for my custom domain. Next login, my live.com inbox got RECREATED. Everything is gone.

I've had my live.com email for many years. I have my own custom domain, and wanted to link my email address from a custom domain to the live.com ID. I added domain management at http://domains.live.com and added the custom address that I previously added as an alias. The domain manager told me the custom address already existed and that I could "import" it. So I did.

Eventually this ended up not being worth the effort as I couldn't figure out what was linked to what anymore so I canceled domain management for my domain.

Now all the mail from my live ID that I've had forever is gone gone gone. I really need it back as this is how I keep organized.

It's not in a deleted items folder. It's gone.
