Sometimes Microsoft may block e-mail accounts because of violations of the Terms of Use agreement. If your e-mail account is blocked, you may receive an error message when you try to send or receive e-mail with that e-mail account.

If you think that your e-mail account has been blocked in error, contact Customer Support and ask to have your e-mail account unblocked:

  1. Go to Windows Live Support.
  2. Under Standard Services, click Windows Live Hotmail.
  3. Type your full name, the e-mail address where you want the reply sent, and the e-mail address of the blocked account.
  4. In the What type of problem do you have? box, select Sign In/Connection.
  5. In the next list, select Unable To Connect.
  6. In the next list, select Other.
  7. In the Be specific when describing your problem box, type:
  • The error message that you received when you tried to send or receive e-mail.
