OMG - Thought I was being clever and signed up for a new hotmail address to enter competitions on here
Please don't tell me this new addy has over rode my existing one.
If not:
How do I log in to my original addy.
Here's hoping

No, a new address will be an entirely different account, so just use your original log-in info.No free lunch, and no free laptop0

The above answers are right, creating a new email account DOES NOT remove your original email account. In the same way that if you had a bank account with LloydsTSB and decided to open an account with HSBC - HSBC can not touch your original LloydsTSB account.
If you had a hotmail account and you have created a new hotmail account, as everyone else has said, simply LOG OUT / SIGN OUT of your new account and sign into your old one.
If you intend to use the new one for several things, you might find it easiest to use to web browsers. For instance you could use Internet Explorer for your original email account and Firefox or Google Chrome for the new account. This way you would not need to repeatedly sign in and out of the two accounts.
I hope that helps.If someone is worth thanking - click on the 'Thanks' button on their response. It's just a nice thing to do :-)
