• If you are using the same email address for other services like windows live or windows messenger. Then those services will be closed also. Your windows live features your Hotmail account and windows messengers. So, if you cancel your Hotmail account windows live feature will be also canceled. There is basically no way to keep your windows live account even after disabling Hotmail.
• If you have been subscribed to newsletters from different websites and blogs then those services will be also deactivated.
• All you your contacts emails and other data from your email account will be lost forever.
