Can I create incoming mail filters in MSN Live Hotmail? (revised)
Using Windows Live Hotmail, searching the page for "filter" fails, even though that's what you suggest on your site (see article: How to create custom email filters in MSN Hotmail). Your suggestion is not correct, do you have an update?

How do I disable marketing promos from Live.com?
I get all sorts of spam from my Microsoft Live.com membership. I just want to keep my Hotmail account active since I've had it since I was in high school, but I don't want to have to weed through all these promo messages, etc. Can I turn these off? I know there used to be a way...

Has my Hotmail account been hacked?
Hi, my name is Lori and my friend, Pegah, has found out that her hotmail account has sent out emails to all of her contacts without her knowing. The email says: "Hey How are you doing? I ordered a white 3GS Apple iPhone from a good website -- [[link removed]] -- much cheaper but brand new and genuine! You can check it if you would like. Cheers".
What can she do to stop this?
She is scared to use her computer right now and so I am emailing for her. She said that the last time she used her hotmail was Wed, March 10th. She was not asked for her password today when she tried to go into it. Please help - she is really worried. I received the above email from Pegah to my Yahoo account and the date shown was Thurs, March 11th @ 10:28PM.

Can I change my Hotmail theme or appearance?
I still use Hotmail because it's what I am familiar with and it's what I've been using for years, but I'm starting to get jealous of my friends on Gmail because of all the cool themes they can apply to their mailbox to make it look cool. Is there any way to skin or otherwise tweak Hotmail to make it look a bit more cool?

How did Twitter get hacked? (password reminder emails)
The tech gossip blog TechCrunch had a hacker send them confidential business documents from Twitter, obtained by a European-based hacker who had broken into their servers. Not so good. How did he do it, though, and is there any risk of my Twitter account being compromised?

Import Lotus Notes Address Book into Microsoft Outlook?
Dave, we got a new IT manager and he's forcing everyone to migrate from our long-beloved Lotus Notes application to Microsoft Outlook. He also tells me that there's no way to export my address book from Notes and import it into Outlook, but I just can't believe it. Is there a solution?

Retrieve your Yahoo password with trick, secret email?
I dunno if this is legit or not, but I recently bumped into a note from someone claiming that there's a secret email address at Yahoo.com that lets you sneak into a backdoor and recover any account password for any account on Yahoo. The address was "[[ omitted ]] @yahoo.com" and it sounds too good to be true. Is it?

How do I organize my Hotmail folders?
I've been a hotmail user for over a decade, and want to remain so. Lately my emails have been auto-organizing in weird ways -- sometimes by size of the email, sometimes by attachments vs. no attachments, etc. I just want the email to stay organized by date both in my inbox as well as my files (most recent at the top), but I can't seem to find how to do that.
