Important notes:
- Before deleting your account, make sure you've backed up any important emails or contacts you want to keep.
- Deleting your Live Mail account will also delete your associated Hotmail or Outlook.com account.
- If you're using a Microsoft account (e.g., @outlook.com, @hotmail.com, @live.com) for other services like Xbox, Skype, or OneDrive, you'll need to update those services to use a different email address.
- If you're experiencing issues with your account, you may want to try troubleshooting or contacting Microsoft Support instead of deleting your account.
