Hotmail tend to close any account where abuse has been alleged without
seeking any evidence or confirmation that any abuse has taken place. It is
possible that it is an automated process. There have even been cases of
people having their accounts closed when they have COMPLAINED about abuse
because their own Hotmail address appeared in the text of the complaint!
Hotmail will never reinstate the account once it is closed nor will they
allow access to any stored email on the account. Basically a Hotmail
account should be treated as a disposable item.
