What happens when you close your Hotmail account?

When you close your Hotmail account, your email address and associated data will be deleted. This means that:

• Your email address will no longer be active.
• Any emails sent to your Hotmail address will be returned to the sender as undeliverable.
• Any contacts, calendar events, and other data associated with your account will be deleted.
• You will no longer be able to access your account or any data associated with it.

Important note:

Before closing your Hotmail account, make sure to:

• Export any important emails or data you want to keep.
• Update any accounts or services that use your Hotmail address (e.g., social media, online banking, etc.).
• Consider creating a new email address to use instead of your Hotmail address.
