Yeek! Hotmail!

[aunt_zelda]

 I just had a scare. Hotmail randomly deleted the backlog of my inbox ... years worth of e-mails suddenly in my 'deleted' folder, leaving only the ones from Christmas to now. WTF?!?!?!?!? I transferred everything into a new folder and have been sorting it for half an hour, when I should be doing schoolwork. I have no idea why it did that or how to make it stop, but now I'm terrified. See, I'm a packrat, so I don't delete my e-mails much at all. Seeing most of my inbox vanish was really, really scary. 
I don't want to go through the hassle of switching my e-mail address ... but that was frightening and I don't want it to ever happen again!

Anyone else have this problem, or know what to do to fix it?
