I have 2 accounts and had one hacked awhile back... it was ugly for a day or two.  Hopefully it will get resolved quickly.  Mine are working fine today tho.  Good luck.....

I went thru two (2) hotmail accounts .... both were compromised so I ended up saying WTH and went with gmail and NO problems.

If you read the Hotmail Terms it says they will share all addresses and info with any advertisers who pay for the info. Yahoo Mail and Gmail's Terms say they will not ever share info. I've been with Gmail (Google) for years with no issues at all.

I have 4 accounts.

1 hotmail, 1 google and 2 with my main internet provider.

Then I downloaded IncrediMail and installed same.

Hooked all 4 accounts into this new software and haven't looked back.

All 4 accounts come into 1 pot and Junk Mail is pushed inot a Junk Box leaving the rest to be viewed and or responded to.

Love it...........

 My hotmail account------can not send or forward anything-----so I don't use it except to read some mail that some people don't know how to change their address book settings to my account to gmail. no problems with gmail yet.
