Risk to the safety of my hotmail account

Hello Windows Live team
 
I received an email, supposedly from you guys asking for my account details, passwords, etc., by saying that I am in danger of losing my hotmail account, if I do not pass on these details. I deleted this message. He just didn't look professional.
 
I need verification of your team, that this message is legitimate. I'm in danger of losing my account? I strongly trust hotmail for personal and professional reasons.

Tip: even if the links provided probably resemble a link back to Hotmail there is a difference which
could be subtle or the link has a link hidden underneath - shift right click - Properties - which will be

  • not appearing Hotmail account is not in the unified view

    There was a problem last week when some hotmail accounts were not working with TB, including me. MS has now fixed the problem, but my hotmail account is no longer included in the unified view. How can I re - include this account in the unified vision please? Thank you

    Change the account settings should not prevent the account from being visible in the same way as he did before. However, perhaps it just is no longer included in the view unified folders, and you will need to re-enter it.

    1. According to unified, right click on the Inbox - you should see "edit saved search properties for Inbox.
    2. Click the choose... button and select all the mailboxes to include in the view

    You may need to develop certain parts of the display folder list by clicking the arrows.
