is it true that if my hotmail account is inactive for a month or more, it is cancelled/eliminated?

is it true that if my hotmail account is inactive for a month or two, it gets cancelled/eliminated? If so how can I get it back, because I relied on it for my accounts on facebook, myspace and photobucket and really need to know whats going on. of course, I have a new hotmail account and I forgot the password of my old account. Help!
