All my Hotmail e-mails have disappeared. I have tried logging in using my Hotmail email address and password but cannot get anything at all except Microsoft this and that. I starting to get a bit peeved with Windows 10, it's messed up all my accounts and finally done away with all my emails past and present. Ugh!!!

No doubt there will be an answer but why they don't leave well alone and leave us in peace I will never know!

Cheers,

RonB

The reason why you might be getting Outlook and Hotmail confused is because Hotmail basically turned into Outlook. Hotmail technically does not exist anymore but you should still be able to access that old account via online or the mail app. Just use the passwords and username you used for the hotmail account.

No idea on that one. But if there is no payment involved, just delete it -possibly with a right click. Maybe another member has info on it.

In order to actually delete and close the Pinnacle email account you will most likely need to contact Pinnacle and ave them remove it. However, you can simply delete it from whichever email client you use and you won't see it any more.
