I got in touch with Microsoft Support and was told if you don't log in for 270 days, your account is marked 'inactive' and your emails deleted.

There is no way to get them back.

My problem is somewhat similar in terms of needing to recover emails and contact list. The difference is that my account (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***) was hacked on Apr 16, 2014 and fraudulent emails sent out over my name.

I attempted to recover the account via Microsoft/Outlook's automated system tool, but was advised by automated response that the it could not verify my identity so the recovery request was closed. There must be a better method for recovery!

I've owned this account for many years and logged into it regularly for business purposes. PLEASE HELP RECOVER EMAILS AND THE CONTACT LIST associated with the above email account! I desperately need the information contained in it!!!

Same problem here and no answer from any support person. I had saved things in Hotmail that are very important to me and cannot now access them. Has anyone else been able to recover old, stored email messages? Some of them are precious to me and I'd love to have them back. And why was no warning sent to Hotmail users from Microsoft Support? Would have been nice.
