Empty Hotmail

[dick dastardly]

Just logged into Hotmail and all my emails have disappeared! It's saying I've got '-0% of 250MB'

Anyone else got this?

I hope they return, the consequence of this is quite serious (no more passwords, online account details, etc.)

I have found this happening quite a lot recently. Normally all has returned to normal within an hour or so.

Wake up call!!!

You should consider storing all your online A/C details and passwords somewhere other than a third party server.

Nah! Don't panic, your mail should re-appear soon!!

But, wonder how many others know where their nuts are buried...

Just logged in and thankfully all back to normal.

Scruffy, you're right about the wake-up call. I'll be copying them to somewhere else later.

Just read it back and hope you didn't take it the wrong way - although my maxim has always been 'never assume', whenever i get complacent or forget about stuff, it consistently trips me up!!

Good luck with it, bit of a pain at first, but piece of mind, eh?

I'd seriously consider moving anything of any importance AWAY from Hotmail. I've heard of people hacking Hotmail accounts to take passwords etc and that was just for a game (MMORPG)... Doesn't fill me with confidence in it's security really.
