My father opened a hotmail account over a year ago to start new job process. He got one not long after, however, a year and a half later, he's now looking for a new job... He had some contacts on his email address at hotmail, but went to login today (in the first time in over a year), and his address is still valid, but all his emails are gone.... Is this normal? do they have an automatic deletion policy? Can he contact anyone to get the emails?
