• How determine if a Windows Live team, send "Account Alert" is real or spam?

  In the (not so distant) past, I received (and completely) ignored mail, I was unable to discern really came from the Windows Live team.  They claim that they are overcrowded and eliminate people have hotmail email accounts and I was among the elect.  I'm afraid that this may be spam comes from (1) the past, similar e-mail unanswered, I received I did not had any effect on my account remains open and active and (2) if they are in fact compensation on free accounts, why then contain a list of very personal information to be completed and returned to them?  Can someone please help, because I don't want my account to be closed?  Others receive similar emails?  Any insight and answers are greatly appreciated.

  The idea is in the links embedded in the headers of enamel and the request for information by e-mail

  Sites form of legitimate emails will NEVER ask for personal information by e-mail (unless you started the conversation) - they STILL will be asked to log in and do what is necessary.

  Just to understand it

  I had to change smapi.dll

  Current version on the computer: 15.4.3538.513

  I searched the Internet and found an another smapi.dll versioned 14.0.8117.416

  Replaced original smapi.dll in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Windows Live\Mail\ and everything started working. not sure if this is a bug in the most recent version of the dll, but it works with the older ones.

  Hope that will help someone.
