lumpenprol Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Yeah I know what the first post is going to be - "why do you still use hotmail?!" I use gmail too, it's just so many people used my hotmail I continued using it. As of yesterday I had: 7161 messages in my inbox, 69 messages in my junk mail, 22 messages in my drafts, 96 photos, 15 office docs, 8 shipping updates (how do I know? because last night I left a hotmail window open on my laptop; I refreshed it and everything was gone). A custom folder, My_Sent_Messages,and a bunch of contacts. Today everything was gone, apart from one contact (strangely). I know, worst thread ever, but seriously - FUCK YOU MICROSOFT!

lumpenprol Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 I thought they were supposed to have triple-quadruple backups for their servers and stuff...boy was I a fool. edit: heheh, i have no idea what you are talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscillik Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 sorry to say it, but, why are you still using hotmail? you have a gmail account..are your contacts really that retarded that they can't change your contact details to reflect the new address? does hotmail still not allow POP access? if it does, you could've set up gmail to pull your emails from hotmail (for those stubborn contacts, or sites that you can't remember the login details for) seriously. get rid of hotmail. it's shite, and always has been.

Guest ruiagnelo Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Not to mention I had tons of LEGAL ADVICE in there (emails from my lawyer) that I paid a lot of good money for. FUCK MS! do they have any kind of backup? i never tried to know hotmail a bit deeper, although i have been using it since i use email. it's too strange that suddenly all one person's messages simply disappear, when we are talking about a company like microsoft.

lumpenprol Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 yeah it's all academic now, as there is no info to pull over to the other account. Unless the techs magically manage to restore it. The funny thing is my account was completely wiped, except for one contact. edit: I completely agree Ruiagnelo. I suggest you forward all of your emails to some other account just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Adjective Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 mine's been wiped a few times, but i think it was from inactivity and because i just use hotmail for signing up for things that i'll never revisit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thief Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I only ever use it these days for signing up to sites/forums/porn. 'post delivery failure' My inbox has been flooded with thousands of these. I think it's when the spambots use your email as the return address. I had close to a thousnad of them in there at one point. Cleared them all out, logged in a month or two later, another thousand had appeared.

oscillik Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 what's wrong with using hotmail? it's fine. you guys are really weird sometimes ok really SHIT spam handling. extremely shit user interface (although that one is subjective). as far as i know, has only recently enabled POP3 access. still doesn't do IMAP (at least not for free). no fancy routing features. and the obvious occurrences going on that are detailed in this thread.

GatorGreen Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Call Microsoft about it. Most likely they will be able to find a backup and fix your account. You've made them too much money from ad impressions to let them just wipe your account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest abusivegeorge Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Lumpy that sucks man, hotmail is indeed shit. The only reason I continue to use it for the same reason, that so many people use that as my main contact, especially for work, and have done for years that to change it would be such a fucking hassle. Anyway, I forgot to make a last post yesterday. I've never made a last post before, so this is it. Last post. I <3 you lumpy. Bye guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
