Microsoft Hotmail Issues Fixed

Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) said today that it has fixed the Hotmail e-mail issues after reports surfaced that entire accounts had been deleted without any warning.

“We have restored the emails to those who were effected,” said Microsoft on its help site. “We sincerely apologize and thank you for your continued patience.”

Microsoft’s official support forum began getting posts from people who were reporting that their entire Hotmail accounts were deleted. Users said they were able to log in, but that all the e-mails and folders in their inbox were missing, as well as the sent and deleted messages.

Microsoft announced on Sunday that they “identified the source of the issue and have restored e-mail access to those who were effected.” Today they announced that the issues are now resolved and that users should now have full access to their emails.

Users are encouraged to go to windowslivehelp.com to post details about any additional problems they experience. “We have restored the emails to those who were effected. If you are still missing your emails, please post your issue here (please note that you need to be logged in to the windowslivehelp.com site to be able to post) with as much detailed information as possible (How much wasn’t restored, and any specifics that you may have) We sincerely apologize and thank you for your continued patience,” said Microsoft in an official statement.
