Microsoft - Hotmail pain...
Just checked my hotmail account - which I only have so that I can use MSN Messenger because certain friends use it rather than ICQ.
MSN are now expiring unused hotmail accounts after 30 days. What a pain! They claim its to save disk space. Hmmm. More likley to ensure that the e-mail addresses they are selling to third parties are good ones - thereby bringing in more income. I have had loads of spam in my hotmail account and yet have never used the address anywhere...
MSN Hotmail account expiration policy

Unfortunately, this information cannot be recovered.* As a valued Hotmail member, we want to make sure you know that subscribing to MSN Extra Storage exempts you from this account expiration policy. It's the smartest way to prevent the loss of all the important information in your MSN Hotmail account.
