You can still use your account name and password to log in to Windows Live, however. After 360 days (five days short of a typical year) of inactivity, a Windows Live Hotmail account is permanently deleted. If you don&#39;t use your Windows Live ID (which is your Windows Live Hotmail email address) for 365 days (about a year), it, too, can be permanently deleted.
