How can I close my hotmail account?

Why can't you close hotmail or AOL account?

  • I know AOL was one of the first E-mail and hotmail has been around since 1996 or 97. But yet they haven't had enough time to develop a way for you to close your account. That smells like BS to me. What's the real reason they won't allow you to close an account?

  • Answer:

    They don't want people to close their accounts by accident. You can get your accounts closed by leaving them inactive or over 60 days or by contacting the email provider's support people and asking them to close your account.

Most e-mail providers who have this feature are having second thoughts about it. There are way too many teens deleting e-mail accounts actually linked to their Facebook or MySpace etc. and this causes problems when the user wishes to change their password or close their account as both operations involve a confirmation e-mail as security. If the e-mail account no longer exists, the confirmation process cannot work
