Just checked my hotmail account, and what happens: I get a message that I have not logged on for 90 days so all my mails are deleted. However, this is not true, the last time I checked was indeed a while ago (probably just before my marriage, today exactly 1 month ago), but not 90 days. The strangest thing is that hotmail is suddenly in Dutch instead of English, although I did not change any settings. I hardly ever used hotmail anymore, because it is slow in China and much better web based mail-services have emerged. But I saved several emails from the past 9 years in there, and they are all gone now. Great…
