Are you sure? I had an email address (@hotmail.com) that I used in 2005 - 2006 and needed it again recently to recover an old account, couldn't login (unrecognised) so I went through the registration process and "created" a new account with the same address and a new password.
- Neur0n 13y agoI can confirm this is still the case. Story made me check old hotmail account - said the account did not exist and allowed me to create new account with same address.
- hackinthebochs 13y agoWell, my last experience trying to recover an old hotmail account was a few years back, so they certainly may have changed their policy since then. I'm surprised I didn't hear about the policy change though, I would have happily used hotmail for a good short name :)
- doomslice 13y agoI accidentally hijacked someone else's hotmail account (and subsequently their abandoned Myspace account) because I was able to register the hotmail they used for it and then use forgot password to send a reset email on Myspace. I assume the same thing could be done for other services.
