Its automated, unlike here.

And this has happened before, I forgot to use one of my emails and POOF, they're all gone.

EDIT: I just activated one of my accounts, I'll see what happens in 10 days.

Hello Anthony,


Your message was forwarded to us at MSN Hotmail Technical Support. I sincerely apologize for not being able to respond to you sooner.  My name is Claire and I am responding to your concern on your friend's <removed>@hotmail.co.uk account.  I understand how important it is to have your concern addressed immediately.

Our records indicate that the mailbox associated with the e-mail address you have provided, <removed>@hotmail.co.uk, does not exist in our database. Please verify if this is the account in question.  If so, it is possible that you have not accessed this account through the Hotmail website (www.hotmail.com) for 120 consecutive days; thus, it was purged from our system.  If you wish to continue using this e-mail address, please reactivate it by signing in at: http://www.hotmail.com

I really do not get this as my friend signed in 2 days after the account became inactive yet they are saying it hasnt been accessed in 120 days?

Like Nagamasa already said, accessing email and signing in to Messenger are two complete different things.

Messenger uses a .NET Passport or Windows Live ID, which _is_ your hotmail email address. But the Messenger service is something completely different than your e-mail service.

The "inactive" and other states are for your e-mail service.

Also, if you sign in to Messenger you do not sign in to hotmail. Again, because the two are quite different services.


PS: never ever post email addresses of other people in public. So please remove the email from that post.

Sorry for the posting the email and thank you all for your help
