How can I get a hotmail account completely deleted?
Two months ago, that I became aware that my Hotmail account has been hacked in to, all my contacts have received emails containing a link to a financial company of the USA.
I immediately updated the password to a much safer and advised everyone to ignore the emails.
I then changed to a G mail account, abandoned the Hotmail account and hope that the problem has been resolved.
Two days ago a lot of my contacts again advised reception of "weird" on the same Hotmail account emails - none of them opened emails luckily.
Now, I have consulted the new Hotmail account and deleted all the contact details.
How can I make sure that the address/account unused and abandoned is now completely put out of the public domain?
Find it me impossible to communicate with the Microsoft Organization to request this service.

Hello
If someone is Spoofing emails that appear to come from you then they probably never
had access to your e-mail account. Instead, they have either a copy of your contacts
list or just an email from you or one of you where you were one of the recipients. Those
could be gleaned either your computer, the computer of a friend, or hacking
any site or intercept an email on your behalf or to you (you may not be the main)
(beneficiary).
Once they have this information there is nothing you can do to avoid that they don't
send usurped messages. Warn your friends that is happening and they
can be entitled to install rules such as parodies are treated as SPAM or JUNK
mail.
I've even seen usurped by email that appears to be from a valid user name however
This name doesn't have an e-mail account on the mail system used in parody.
As SpiritX - AT - realmail.com may be a valid account, however, parody used
SpiritX - AT - wrongmail.com. The latter could still be considered an email address valid
SpiritX if it was allowed through JUNK and JUNK e-mail filtering. (The - AT - has been used
instead of so that those addresses would not be filtered by auto responses.
as if by magic.)
============================================================
Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.
The reason why you want to do this is to make sure no more hacking your computer is
still in effect (if it has been hacked). You have changed the password once but I would
Change it again after these checks.
It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
NOT only the answer to the address.

=============================================
If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.
No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.
It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.
Download malwarebytes and scan with it, run MRT and add Prevx to be sure that he is gone.

I stopped to receive mail after December 31. It indicates that the computer cannot connect to my account but when I log in with my password I get the message "this account already exists." How can I get my email account to work again?
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan
First of all, make sure that you don't have two accounts with the same address. What happens if one of them is an iCloud account.
From the Mail menu bar, you select
▹ Connection Doctor window
In the window that opens, look for an SMTP (outgoing mail) account with a name that corresponds to the account that you are trying to add. Double-click it. Another window opens, displaying the list of all outgoing mail accounts. Click the sign button less to remove the corresponding one, and then click OK.
Try to add the email account again. If you still can not, log off or restart the computer, and then open the preferences window accounts Internet and check if the account is displayed.

How can I get my email account which was blocked?
my email address has been blocked by windows because they thought that it had been hacked, that is probably not the case, it seems that I had sent an email to someone I had not done before. I gave a pin code and told to go to a particular forum that I did to get a verification code which should arrive within 24 hours, but have not yet had the code sent to me through this forum or my new email account I had to implement. Now, I get very frustrated with windows that I really need my old account re-opened e-mail. my old e-mail account is * address email is removed from the privacy *. my new email is * address email is removed from the privacy *
