I used to have Hotmail, it became windows live mail in 7, now it is a next to a useless outlook version with sync problems. I finally retrieved my folders by looking in deleted files. I am glad I have gmail as a backup. So happy to get reviews and advise because these coders are getting too malicious, forcing software that acts more like viruses on clients and old customers. I am hoping to get a good email server on word press, but it may not be a bad idea to get Mozilla Thunderbird also. Thank you so much for your advise.
