Sorry if this has been asked already but i got an account question

My friends .co.uk account recently went to Inactive. However a couple of days after or so she signed into it so i was wondering how long she can sign into the account before everything goes?

A @hotmail.co.uk account or something else?

@hotmail.co.uk

sorry for not clarifying that

If it is a free hotmail account, it will be "inactive" if you didn't signed in within 30 days, or within the first 10 days after you've created an account.

When an account becomes "inactive" all e-mails, maps and contacts will be erased. The account itself will remain and can become "active" again once you sign in again...

If the account is still "inactive" after 90 days, it will be permanently removed.

If it is a payed hotmail account, it will remain "active" for as long as your subscription lasts.

Oh i see. Well she signed in 2 days after it became inactive and the account doesnt exist in the system according to WLM people but it hasnt been 90 days yet

Hmm, shouldn't the WLM login still work even if the actual mail account has expired?

well i find it strange that the actual account cant be found in the system even though it hasnt been 120 days yet

Mail gets deleted, but you can still login WLM fine. Your WLM remains the same. A few of my friends dont have email accounts that are activated (I didn't activate one of mine on purpose and I'm on it right now)

And inactive means inactive in Hotmail/Windows Live Mail, not Windows Live Messenger.

Oh i see

But surely they must be able to see it on the system?

Please rephrase. I do not understand your question. Thank you for your understanding and have a nice day/evening.
