NoshowJones Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 That's twice in less than a year nearly all the posts in my archives has almost all disappeared overnight in less than a year. These posts were very important to me, and I have had hotmail almost since I have had computers, I cannot just change to another email address as 99% of people, companies etc have my Hotmail address. What should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfaboy Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 How did you recover the first time ? I would recommend, recover and transfer all relevant data (addresses and mails) to i.e. gmail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I thought about that, I have accounts at Gmail and Yahoo, but I don't know how to recover them, or transfer mails and data to Gmail and Yahoo, but I will find out.Thanks.

Halfaboy Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 X-fer from hotmail to gmail is easy (I even managed to do this). Just do a google search for instructions.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With deleted messages you can often recover them even when they have been completely deleted from the Deleted mail folder. I believe they are still stored on Microsoft's web server so you may be able to get them back. Perhaps try searching for them - box above the folder list - if you haven't already. Suggestion for future if you don't know why the archive messages have gone - file the messages in separate folders you create. I have messages going back years in different folders. Never yet used archive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I just meant the list of folders so it says "Search Mail and People" on the left hand side on mine above "Folders" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
