When Hotmail decided to kill Messenger and "upgrade" to Skype, i was forced to do so.

Hotmail however failed on the uptake. They have not been able to merge my Skype and Hotmail accounts succesfully. I even followed their suggestion with disastrous results.

On two separate occasions they asked me to wait 72 hours for the merge to be completed. I was still unable to see my Hotmail Accounts when in Skype.

The other is more isiduous - each time I log on to Skype using my Outlook credentilas - my Outlook account gets hacked. So I am nervous about checking it to see if they have been able to do anything.

Any help/suggestions/pointers?
