If i ever get to work at microsoft, i'll try and get my original hotmail account back

Hahahaha that’s a hilarious idea. I once applied to a company just to fix the fact that they banned emailing my domain name because it briefly had a lapse in registration. It was preventing me doing password recovery…they ended up fixing it after weeks of me emailing everyone i could find at the company and explaining in detail exactly why they couldn’t email me. Default sendgrid reputation protection behaviour, they had no idea.
Ex-MSN person here. Hotmail accounts are made inactive after 180 days of disuse, deleted after 360. I don’t recall the recycle time; however, you might be able to get it back if it’s been recycled.
Thank you! I guess i can re-register it, I'll try that!
