Microsoft has told members of its free Hotmail service that their e-mail accounts will be closed if they do not use them at least once a month.
"Accounts reaching 30 days of inactivity are formally deactivated and all messages, folders, and contacts are permanently deleted," the software giant told Hotmail users in an e-mail Wednesday. The rule does not apply to its MSN Hotmail Extra Storage accounts, which cost $12.95 per year and provide five times more storage space, the company said.
