Hello everyone and anyone
Sorry if this is too long a post...it's my first.
I'd be really grateful if anyone could help me out on this.
I've used email for over a decade but not in any great depth...
I have some questions connected to ...well basically hotmail / live email but also I'm wondering how the upgrade to outlook might affect these.
I'd like to try and re-connect with a few people I've fallen out of contact with for a number of years. None of us are (were) social media types - but I do of course have email ads and I like to use them.
(1) I'm wondering how email works in this trype of situation. Are hotmail / live accounts automatically deleted if they fall out of use? And in that case would I recieve some kind of error if my mails could not be delivered?
(2) Alternatively, if I send an receive no error...is there any way of establishing if the email accounts in question are still in use - via a last login date or etc etc?
(3) Or is there a way that a read-receipt can be added to an email so that I'd be able to feel assured that my mails had been read?
Sorry if these are basic but it'd be really great to know the situation. I have no idea unfortunately...
thanks for reading
