Question About Hotmail Email Accounts

So I tried Googling this, but I have found many different answers and I'm not sure what's correct.

I have a few questions:
1.
If I have a certain account Hotmail Email account of example. If I don't log in would it eventually become inactive and delete all contact info, messages, etc...?

2.After how much time does it happen?
3. If I don't log in, does it eventually delete itself?

I believe it does not. I tried to get into my email without knowing the password when it was pending deletion and it still deleted.[/quote]

I see. Thank you.

[quote=mujuras]It does get deleted if you don't login to it for 180 days to 1 year. If you were stupid enough to buy the premium for hotmail, then it wouldn't delete.
I know for a fact that they delete it because I've saved a lot of old maplestory accounts using this method.[/quote]

I have another question. If you try to access a certain email account (just try without succeeding in loging in). Does it prevent the deletion of the said account?

I have no idea how long it takes, by the time I noticed the email was already used by someone else.
