I lost my old hotmail account today. This morning I had no problems logging in then about an hour later I tried again and everytime I tried signing in to check my email or my msn messenger I would get redirected to account information website for windows. I had to end up making a brand new email address and password. I'm hoping that someone didn't hack into my old one as I've had the for many years and I have some old emails I wanted to save
Have you ever had this problem with hotmail.com? Did you ever end up retrieving your old email address?

hello nixxie,
sorry to hear about your situation in MSN.
i think i have the same experience on my old hotmail (dont have it now) when i was in china coz they seem to block a lot of sites out there and there is a time that it happened often and for some reason it blocks me. i tried it many times but no luck so i skip a day and the next time i tried i used proxy to help me out and it works - strange but sometimes MSN can be down at the time you are checking it so that can be the cause i said this coz today i was searching online and it happens to belong to msn and it says try again and the next time session timed out.
so maybe you can try again later, cant you retrieve the password? i thought you can always retrieve a password to anything on the net so i dont understand why msn will do it the hard way.
anyway, the biggest lose i have was my aol account coz i have a lot of photos there and then i just lose it and it keeps giving me errors i tried to retrieve the password but the question they have in there is something i dont know so i didnt get the chance to use it again.
i think that was last year when aol is having a lot of problems.
i wrote the customer service but it comes back to me coz according to them i cannot be helped coz i am not a payed member, irritating isnt it?
oh well, so i am using gmail now hehe.
at least i can use that in my mac mail without a problem.
hope you still get your account working.
good luck and have a good one.

good morning!
at least you got it working and you would be able to retrieve all the emails you want to save and send it to your new account.
that is really strange i dont understand it either but like i said it happened to me in the past and just try again and it works, seems like msn is having some trouble lately, dont know why.
thanks for the response.
have a good one!

Never had the problem. Suggest you contact the company and ask to retrieve the account if there are things you would like to get back. The account is not completely gone; it may just be unaccessible right now for whatever reason.

I had it once when i tried opening my Yahoo account. Big Deal. Just open a new one but it would be a problem if you have been using it for quite some time.
