In an effort to save money, MS has decided to start DELETING your sent messages after thirty days (and I guess the timer's already started ticking!).

This they informed/warned us about in one of their recent membership letters, but who the heck read those anyway? Smile

So if you have sent messages you wish to save, you have to MOVE THEM to a different folder in your hotmail account (only sent messages will be killed after 30 days, everything else is safe), OR to your own computer using Outlook/Outlook Express.

This concludes our public announcement. Smile

I have lost all my sent messages over 30 days old.

Maybe they included a warning in one of their membership announcements. But if they did I didn't see it.

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
