O.P. My old hotmail account.. Stolen?
I have an old hotmail account, I went to check (from the forgot password thingy) if the address still exists, it has been unused for about 3 years and it's still there! But why, has someone taken this account from me, I thought hotmail deletes old accounts? The acc has a security question I can't remember for sure if it was set by me, it was "your grand mothers first occupation". well the modern hotmail doesn't allow making custom security questions so the acc cannot be retaken or what?

I couldn't remember the password as its been so long time from the last login. Yes I started to think if someone sinister has taken my account name when hotmail deleted it because of inactiveness.. How can I know? I also tried to send a message to that e-mail, and it didn't return me postmaster delivery failure mesage so the address must still exist and the mailbox be active. :S Or is it because of the new live hotmail? I have never told the password to everyone.
