    Is there any legal action that can be done against Microsoft? Seams like the account is being held for ransom. This is my business email address that I use with private info.

    I don't think there is much you can do but wait. I have read others had the account restored 4 months later. I pretty much have gotten over the anxiety of losing all my contact information. Some of that hurts too because I am currently in Mexico and I don't even have a contact for my parents! Since the merge with Skype I didn't realize that if my Hotmail went down I would lose all those contacts as well. I am also waiting on a possible invitation for training and hope they will know to call me if I'm invited. So in the end it is sit and wait and just assume never. I keep getting this message :

    There's a temporary problem

    There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later

    So 6 weeks later I am still getting try again............ so how many times do I try Microsoft? Besides I only get copy paste answers so I don't know if they are really working on it anyways.

    This system is a joke....

    There's a temporary problem

    There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later.

     

    So how long do we wait or try again later... I'm contacting CNN to see of they can investigate into what a joke Microsoft is. Over 10 years with a Hotmail account with thousand of emails and I cant access them.

    I have been getting the same message since the beginning of June. They have informed me they know why I have the problem, but no time frame to repair or if there is a guarantee to repair it. I have asked if they could just link my account, but they can't do that either. So its wait and wait and wait and...........wait.
