In New Delhi: The new year evening saw many hotmail users missing important mails from their inboxes. Infact many hotmail users, across the globe, reported that all their important data went missing since the beginning of the new year. Microsoft defined the problem as not so widespread and said it is working with impacted users to resolve it. Some Microsoft Hotmail users are starting off the New Year scrambling to get back old e-mails, the Daily Mail reported.

Many of its users shared the problem through various forums and popular social networking sites
"Got my emails and personal folders back , I know some of us will not trust Hotmail , but this is the case with any online services , and in some cases it's very hard to change our emails because it's related to many things , so what I did , I just create gmail account and forward copy of my hotmail to it," commented a Hotmail user on Facebook.
