Hotmail inbox gone away

That's frustrating!

If your Hotmail inbox has disappeared, don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some steps to try and recover your inbox:

  1. Check your account settings: Log in to your Hotmail account and check your account settings. Make sure your inbox is set as the default folder. You can do this by going to Settings (gear icon) > More Mail Settings > Inbox.
  2. Check your spam folder: Sometimes, emails can end up in the spam folder. Check your spam folder to see if any of your emails have been mistakenly marked as spam.
  3. Check your deleted items folder: If you've deleted emails, they might be in the deleted items folder. Check this folder to see if any of your emails are still there.
  4. Try searching for your emails: Use the search function to look for specific emails or keywords. This might help you find your missing emails.
  5. Contact Microsoft Support: If none of the above steps work, you can contact Microsoft Support for assistance. They may be able to help you recover your inbox or provide more information on what might have caused the issue.
  6. Check for account issues: If you're experiencing issues with your Hotmail account, you can try checking the Microsoft Support page for any known issues or outages.
  7. Try a browser refresh: Sometimes, a simple browser refresh can resolve the issue. Try closing and reopening your browser or refreshing the page.
  8. Check your email client settings: If you're using an email client like Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, check your settings to ensure they're configured correctly.
  9. Try a different browser or device: If the issue persists, try accessing your Hotmail account from a different browser or device to see if the problem is specific to your current setup.
  10. Consider resetting your account: As a last resort, you can try resetting your Hotmail account. This will delete all your account data, so be sure to back up any important emails or data before doing so.

I hope these steps help you recover your Hotmail inbox!
