ReplyDeleteRight now you are aloud 5 linked Live IDs, I'm wondering if you upgrade to the paid email do you get more or unlimited?
ReplyDeleteHi, Ian.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe that additional linked Live IDs are available with Windows Live Hotmail Plus.
For an old, seldom-used Hotmail account, you could forward your mail to your primary Hotmail Account.
Note, however, that you would need to sign in to that account at least once every 270 days. Otherwise your account looks inactive and could be deleted.
If desired, the forwarded e-mail could be filtered to go to a specific folder.
