I have just received an email notifying me of the following:   Dear Hotmail Customer ([My email address]) ,  We are sending this e-mail to inform you that your e-mail account has excedeed it's sending and receiving limit in the last 7 days. Due to this , we have to suspend your account in order to prevent unwanted bots and spyware using our customer's accounts. In order to verify your account and lift the suspenion limit, please verify your account information on the link below:  http://www.hotmail.com/msn-unsuspend-account/verify- [My email address ] /index-3580-sl67 The limit applied on your account will be lifted as soon as you verify your account. After verification , you may use your e-mail account as usual. Microsoft Account Security Team.   But... my email is working perfectly. I can send and receive emails with no problems. I can sign in and out. I'm also concerned that I cannot find reference to account suspension in the help section. I do not want to follow a link and put my details into it unless I know for certain that it is the genuine article.   The email also generated a "Attachments, pictures and links in this message have been blocked for your safety" warning, and if this is from the hotmail team, why would it do that?   Thank you. I hope I have put this in the right topic.
