Hotmail and many other free e-mail services make no representations about availability, reserve the right to terminate your account for nearly any reason, and do not encrypt any communication other than login uid/passwd.
I used a hotmail account for web site registration (to reduce spam to my usual email address). Apparently I didn't log into the account for a period of 30 days, which caused hotmail to delete all of the messages, registration information, and order receipts that I had stored on the account.
