Despite using my account on a daily basis, my accound has today been closed and can only be reactivated on payment of �19.99 per year. All folder, messages and replied have been closed access seems impossible without payment. Anyone else had this experience or have any solutions? Kind regards, Ned.

When I didn't use it for a while my hotmail account was suspended, on the reactivation page it made it look as if I had to pay �20 for the service, but at the bottom was a tiny link to the page which allows you to reactivate your free account, guess they think they're going to fool people into paying......

Yes - there is a small link to bypass the 19.99 payment charge. Took me ages to work out what was going on (although if you use the account daily it shouldn't suddenly close - I'd have a work with MS about your saved messages if that's the case).

As with all online storage, it's always a good idea to have an offline backup in case you have important info saved (and the service crashes) - I use Outlook to do this for Hotmail.
