Yesterday when I logged in, it wouldn't show my new email messages and then as I was deleting some of my messages, ones that I wanted to save have disappeared.  How do I restore them to my inbox.  I have 2 MSN accounts and only the initial email account that I have is having this issue.

Hi Hartbern8515,

To recover deleted messages
  • In the left pane of the Hotmail window, click theDeleted folder, scroll to the bottom of the window, and then clickrecover deleted messages.

    Hotmail will recover as many messages as possible and put them in yourDeleted folder. If you don't see the deleted messages that you wanted, it means they are permanently lost.

When the recovered messages are back in your Deleted folder, you should move the important ones back to your inbox or personal folders because theDeleted folder gets cleaned out periodically.


Thanks,
Nitesh
