    ok, my other hotmail account is all normal, so whatever has happened is just happened to that other hotmail account.
    the actual pc is not effected!
    thanks

  • Near the top where it says Hi and tells you your usage, there's a link to click to return to the classic version.

    i have worked it out, i never signed in for over 30 days, then all emails get deleted and you automatically go onto hotmail live. you can only switch from hotmail live classic but not back to hotmail msn.
    once you have been updated to hotmail live their is no going back!

    Just checked mine and you can still go back to Msn Hotmail from the Live Version.

    Under options, then MSN Hotmail.

    That happened to me yesterday.
    I logged in, taken to Windows Live Hotmail, no emails.

    I think everyone will be upgraded to Windows Live Hotmail eventiually.

    why are you moaning - theres no real difference in the way live now works, live is not to blame for you losing all the emails - so !!!!!!
    This is not an automated signature. I write this at the bottom of every message
