Nope mine is fine. My account was hacked a few days ago, but that's been cleared up. Your's probably was hacked and instead of sending out spam, they changed your settings and spam you. Send a message to Hotmail & they'll work to change your password and set your acct. right.

password changed history, and cache cleared.. Emailed hotmail a few times no response on the issue.. might just use my google acct.

jack up the security to exclusive and put those you want on the "safe" list. Thats what I had to do to mine. I go through the junk filter daily to check to make sure I haven't missed anyone. Works great.

I have done this still not working, I fear my account is compromised. after 10 years and a millions passwords.. I may just go to google email, I email hotmail, about 12 times with no response, called their tech support, and they could barely speak english.. sorry I'm frustrated at this point
Frick, lol. I dont get how the call it tech support when they couldnt help my issue. I have not ever had this problem, its as if some one, is putting the emails I am marking as junk back into my inbox, cause I just put 2 into the junk folder, came back to my inbox and they were out of my junk folder and back in the inbox... UGGHHHHH....:twise d:

Mine was hacked on the 4th of april. Apparently it's becoming more common, hacking them to send out spam.

Apparently all they need to do is run a script that constantly tries passwords. After a number of wrong ones, it will present you with a captcha code which once entered will let them continue trying passwords.
Why they don't have some of 15 or 30 minute lockout after filling out the captch box 2 or 3 times is beyond me.
