Hotmail Question

**sharky** · 16th November 2009, 14:12

G'day, this morning I logged on to my hotmail account and all my messages that were in my inbox were gone, as are all my contacts. Any geeks out there know what the story is there, and know if I can get them back?
Cheers.

How long since you logged in last? If you leave it a set period of time (I think 90 days?) it all resets and you lose the lot for good I'm afraid. At least, that's how it used to work.

My mum had this problem in the UK (is this after the enforced MSN Messenger upgrade???)... she had to piss about with her email account before it all came back. If you're still having probs towards the weekend i'll drop her a mail and find out how she solved it)!!!
