Has anybody else had problems with their hotmail account? All my mail has been deleted and I'm not receiving my usual daily emails. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    There shouldn't be any problems with it. I'm certainly not experiencing anything currently. Try scrolling down to the bottom, clicking on "account" (you'll need to retype password-prevent's some hackers i guess) and checking through your settings to see if you have a privacy setting/spam filter that's blocking incoming emails. Also might be worth checking your "Junk" folder for these emails if you haven't already.

    Also clearly as Samuela66 suggested, someone may have hold of your account password and be messing with your emails. Perhaps change your password to see if that makes andy diference?

    Thanks for the replies, someone did hack into my account and sent emails from me!! to people in my contacts list. I have changed my password and my emails have reappeared, including a load of deleted phishing ones that I forwarded to the relevant places. Keep an eye on your accounts.

    To all, I advise changing to a strong password- long and containing both letters and numbers
