Hotmail being too hot finally burns all mails.... :D At least whatever happened within Hotmail, it lost many many mails stored by users. It seems that when they finally increases their quota space, users get to store more, delete less. Now the mails all gone. If you haven't backup the mails, what would the chance of getting them back be? If the mails are just not accessible, due to some programming issues, they are safe and will be back. If it really is, removed by error, I doubt Microsoft will put in effort to recover them since there are millions of users affected. Such problem will plague any email provider from time to time. It is all due to human error. And it is also human error that users themselves did not backup their email, relying on the mail server to store the mails forever.
