Like many others, I am wondering whatever happened to all my old Hotmail emails when everything switched to Outlook.com.  Please don't tell me to try to restore missing emails, that was pointless.  I have yet to see a complete, helpful answer.  If it's that Microsoft just deleted everything irrevocably for those who were not active in Hotmail at the time, just tell me so I can get over it and not try to get everything restored.  Thank you.
