Very disappointed with Hotmail... Recently lost over 10 yrs of emails -- logged in after a long time of inactivity (messages were forwarding to a Comcast account I check daily), and my account was completely empty with just a "Getting started..." email from Hotmail. Restoring deleted does not help. Additionally, can't find a support phone number, and may have called a fraudulent/phishing scam company by mistake, trying to fix this. ( They offered to sell me security products for my hotmail account?!) Changed all passwords from a different machine, and Microsoft has now pushed my account into Outlook.com. So my questions are:

Can I talk directly to an official Microsoft support specialist?

Can I get back the emails that were lost? 

If I've been hacked, can I secure the account?

Can I backup a 2nd related/associated hotmail account (also has more than 10yrs of messages, still intact so far), then close both accounts? (Will need to update all personal accounts on other sites first that use either address as my login...)

Thank you.
In the old hotmail, when you forward an email, your entire contact list is available.  In this new version, I only get recent contacts.  Is there a way to access your entire contact this from within the email you are forwarding?  Thanks for any assistance.

Why wont windows live forward an email with pictures? I keep getting a window which says some of the pictures in this email could not be found.

Do you want to send this email anyway?

What gives? Windows live mail is the pits!!

Outlook 2007 allowed me to click on contacts when forwarding to multiple addresses
When I forward an email, despite the fact that I delete the original sender's name and address, it still appears at the bottom of my forwarded email. This has only occurred recently. The forwarded email says "2 messages". Help please.
When forwarding pictures in the body of recieved mail they change to thumb nails and a red X apears in there place using Windows live mail.
How do I stop Hotmail from forwarding my emails to my other email accounts?

Reviewing the list of recent updates from Microsoft on my computor I determined initially that two had failed to install. One Windows Internet Xplore 9 results in an error code 9C48 and has failed to instal on two additional occasions. The original attempt to automatically update was on Nov 21nd, the day my e-mail went screwy.

Any thoughts please.

I will try to restoreback to Nov 29th.

my emails are not coming to my email id, they are being forwarded to another email id. i want to stop forwarding msgs, so what should i do? please tell me as soon as possible.
