I tried signing in today with the new address to be told that the Microsoft account doesn't exist. I had a look on a forum online and I believe that this may answer why I can no longer access the account:
'Please be informed that free Windows Live Hotmail accounts become inactive if you don't sign in for more than 270 days or within the first 10 days after signing up for an account.
After an account becomes inactive, all messages, folders, and contacts are deleted. Incoming messages will be sent back to the sender as undeliverable. '
I believe that as I didn't sign into the account until three days after creating it, that it may have been deleted. I would really like to know if there is any way of making the account available again as I have already set a new
Paypal account up with it and it would be a lot of hassle to change it over to a new email.
Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated!
