I just don't get it. I received ALL my bills on hotmail; sentimental documents; business; personal; and so forth...no more hotmail. What is that. Shouldn't they give a warning to copy or delete our files. Now I don't know what to do. Everything is lost...Thanks Leo.

Posted by: reem at July 22, 2008 3:08 AMI deleted an important email the other day that i recently found out that i need. I deleted it originally and then it went into the deleted folder and then i deleted the "deleted" folder. Is there anyway to recover the emails i deleted out of the deleted folder?
Posted by: Amber at August 15, 2008 12:12 PMi have read your site about deleted messages and inactivity and not being to retreive them. But i hear that all emails are kept on a adatabase by law for 1 year is this true? How could i retrieve these emails?
I read all comments but did not get any answers.

I can't believe you're suggesting to store important e-mail on your physical hard drive. I agree that hotmail is not reliable, but gmail (and others tell me yahoo) is perfectly reliable and allows you to take backup copies or any other information whenever you want.
I say always leave it on hardware that has redundancy and backup built in, not on an inexpensive personal computer hard drive.
If you keep it on GMail (or Hotmail, or Yahoo or whatever), and you lose your account for any reason - then everything is gone. Period. You might get lucky and regain access, but from what I hear from people in this position that is by far the exception, not the rule. Most people lose everything. Gone. Period.
I agree that leaving it only on your own hard drive is just as bad. You must backup. The point is that by taking responsibility for your own email and your own backups on your own hardware, you can back up, and you can restore from account loss or other problems that may occur on a "free" web-based service.

Is there a way where I can setup in hotmail, if I accidentally delete my messages from the "DELETED" file, that I could retrive it back?
