He has had control over my account since November 2nd.  I regained control back yesterday with a verification form, on November 5th.  However he had regained control again later that same day.  In the time frame of November 5th to 6th he had deleted ALL of my e-mails that I had accumulated over the years, can they all be recovered?  I definitely need these as they not only contain sentimental value, important information, and was a good chunk of my life, but also because he left vital information about himself in those e-mails that I need to file a report to the police in Argentina. (I live in Canada, but he lives in Argentina, and hopefully with your help we can nail this sucker!) But yes, all I need is all my e-mails restored and that would be lovely.

If there is any additional information I need to provide, please contact me.  Thank you very much.

I can even go as far as providing phone number, address, statements of where I live, photo ID and more.  Again, thanks.

Thank you very much on the restored e-mails.  But I still have more requests, I am definitely looking for two more things. 

1.  The e-mails he sent while he was on my account.  There were 8 (or more) messages he sent to my poker site attempting to take money from and verify the account.  I'm definitely very curious to see what else he sent and who else he contacted as this would be a great help in letting me know if anything else of mine was compromised, and it may lead to the prosecution of a thief.

2.  Can my contact list also be restored on my Windows Live Messenger?  I had nearly 500 contacts and I definitely can't remember even 1/10th of those contacts off memory.  He deleted all of those as well in some time between nov 2nd / 6th.  (I suspect it was on the 5th possibly the 6th before I had control, but it could have come before that).  It'd be a great help as I'd hate to lose so many friends because this problem wasn't even due to anything on my end.  It came from an unsecure site (that should have been secure) that let its admins have access to my password.  (Yeah, I am now keeping different passwords for each site).  If there's anything that I can provide that will help you, please ask.  (Same e-mail as above {removed email address} ).

Thanks again, I really hope this works so everything can go back to the way it was before the thief came.

@ AngryMerlin,

If the messages that you're looking for were not included with the e-mails that Celeste restored, this means that they have been permanently deleted and can't be recovered.

For your missing contacts, please create a new post in the Contacts & Address Book forum and include the following information:

1. Your Hotmail account.
2. At least 3 e-mail addresses that were included in your contacts list for account verification.

Well, they were in the "sent" folder, and I noticed none of those were restored so I was just wondering if those could be.

Thanks again, I will post about the missing contacts there.
