Does anyone know how to deactivate a hotmail email address?
I stopped using mine 5 or 6 months ago as it kept sending emails (which had nothing to do with me) to everybody in my address book, usually containing links urging people to buy things like electronic equipment from China etc.
People would ring me saying 'I got your email' and my heart would sink, as I knew I hadn't sent anything.
Even though I urged people not to open emails from my hotmail address, naturally they didn't always remember.
I understood that if you didn't use a hotmail address for a month it would die, but apparently 'somebody' is still using mine because as recently as this morning (and also last week) I know people have got emails from 'me' urging them to buy an iphone!
I would really like to put a stop to this.
