Hotmail account expired?

[nicecupoftea]

My wife hadn't checked her old hotmail account for over a month and although it is still there it seems all her old archived mails are gone Is there somewhere they store them? Can they be got back? 1 month doesn't seem very long...

Hotmail goes after 30 days of inactivity, thats one of the reasons I switched to Gmail. If it's just beyond 30 days you might try to contact them and see if her achieved Email can be loaded back up.

Er no - you've lost it forever. I had this problem - logged on after 32 days, all mail erased, I rang them but there was absolutely nothing they could do.

Sorry.

It's happened to me too. Has it always been like this, I seem to remember leaving it for a month before and it not being deleted??

Another reason Hotmail is poo, along with not being able to set "save sent messages" as a default.
