I've had hotmail for years and years and years. I'm on a macbook pro using Mavericks 10.9... But not sure that even makes a difference, as I'm using a firefox browser to access my hotmail massage through outlook.com... When I sign in, my inbox is empty. I can see old emails in the folders, but the inbox is empty, and if I send mail to hotmail, there simply is no mail. What gives? 
Help Please. Outlook wants to re-download duplicates of 10,000 existing HOTMAIL emails on the server I want to keep. 

I have let it go before and do the re-download and then deleted the duplicates when finished. However, several days later, it wants to restart again and its sucking up valuable band width and taking up resources.

Outlook is set up as:
Incoming as: pop3.live.com (995)
Outgoing as smtp.live.com (587)

Its really annoying and killing my Outlook experience. 

Please help with how to stop this.

Hi 

I have as many other users lost ALL my hotmail emails. This may be due to inactivity but I have never been told it will be deleted. Please help!

I have two hotmail emails, one for gaming and one set up for business, work, or other professional situations.  My work email somehow became corrupt and when i log in it says it looks like someone is using my account and they need to verify its me, but when i click to have a security code sent to my gaming email, it doesnt work no matter how many times i click the link.  So i tried filling out the questionairre and got two responses saying i need to fill out more info.  Any help? This email is important and contains important emails.  Thanks.

why havent my hotmail emails,gone to my outlook inbox?  my other email that outlook has found is @ yahoo..but i havent had that in years!!! just tell me how to get my hotmail emails to outlook inbox...i dont have any of my emails from hotmail...and tried to go on hotmail and said my email is already taken....UGHHH

I am missing tons and tons of important emails when Hotmail converted to Outlook. I access my account multiple times a day....both via Mobile and Desktop. I have not ever had this account hacked and I'm super super upset.

I'm read through all of the "email recovery" threads and nothing that is listed as "helpful" is actually helpful.

Someone please help me!

Hi,

 

It is Monday, October 28th, 2013.  I am unable to access my Hotmail emails. When I put in my email and password, I receive a message on the screen which states that outlook.com  is experiencing difficulties.  This has been going on for several hours.  Anyone else with this problem?  I really need to access job related info. and Microsoft phone help cannot assist me.  SOS!!

Tried yesterday to assign a new alias under my account. After the creation, all email in my inbox folder were gone. I deleted the alias today, looked for the emails in the deleted folder and all other folders but they're nowhere to be found.

I think new emails are coming through with no problem. How can I retrieve the old ones??

Thank you very much for any help.
