If your MSN Hotmail account was closed and you don’t know why, it may have been closed because of a violation of the terms of use agreement.
Some examples of terms of use agreement violations include the following:

Thanks bnt
Mine happened after the migration to the new wizz bang fizzle pop version of Hotmail.
They have indeed wiped everything. It seems to be a bug in the system according to an insider.
You have been warned!

Well, seems like I'm having the same problem with pprune e-mail. I can't access it as it won't recognize my username/password. PPrune could only help with resetting my password to the forum....which wasn't the problem...it's pprune e-mail.
I checked it like a week ago and it was fine, was starting to get a lot of spam, otherwise worked ok.
Any suggestions?

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

dumped my account last week as well.
I was connecting through a different ISP but found I could not retreive my account. When I spoke to them they shrugged and apologised.

Careful FS users, I know of someone else who used to access their FS mail, but used a different (cheaper) ISP. Apparently they do cancel accounts that have not connected through the FS ISP for a certain length of time. This is what could have happened here..

I have used hotmail for the last 5 years, with no problem at all, and now they want to change it to this new live thing. I tryed the live some months ago, rechanged it back to the good old, but now msn is changeing it no matter what.
I aslo have used Gmail, but I did not like it. Whats the big deal about Gmail, anyways.
I hope I will not loose my contacts
