I unknowingly opened a Live.com account and can't open my hotmail account now.I have a lot of unread mail in that account and don't want to lose them.Pls. let me know how to recover them.
Thank you.

I acquired the above address about two months ago, about the time I acquired a computer. The first odd thing I noticed was McAfee insisted on calling me by XXXX name and wouldn't/couldn't straighten it out. I resolved that by using TrendMicro.

Then I found that Ebay and Dell Store also insisted I was XXXX name and Ebay still does. Too bad, plenty more will gladly accept my money.

The topper was when I received a credit union monthly statement Emailed to my address under name XXXX. I didn't open the statement and apparently the credit union corrected their records, after I notified them.

This explains what happened with my new Email address. Thanks.

I cancelled my Hotmail account manually. How long before it's deleted?
