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.
  • Your computer's IP address (Internet Protocol address. A specific address assigned to each computer connected to the Internet, in the form of four numbers separated by dots. For example, 123.45.67.890.) .

 Find your IP address in Windows XP

  2. Under your network connection, click View status.
  3. Click Details, and then look next to IPv4 IP Address.

           Complete the optional fields of the form, and then click Submit.
