Hi there. I just have one simple question. Is it possible to see or get info from hotmail about where you log onto hotmail ie. I think, or, I know that somebody has the secret answer to my question and is now changing my password and looking at my emails. Change the question and answer then would be the most obvious thing to do, but I would like to know who this is or at least if this person is in the same country as me. Is it possible to find out? Thanks guys.

Welcome to poasers.
If you think someone is getting into your account, perhaps an email to the hotmail administrators would be in order. I don?t use hotmail, but perhaps someone else here may have some better information for you.
You can check these Security Tips from MS though.

Hi Rachel.

Microsoft would like you to inform them if you suspect unauthorized use of your .NET passport services - including Hotmail.

Meantime, I suggest changing both your password and secret question.  Include numbers in both passwords - not just strings of letters.  Make this impossible for others to guess and change it frequently.  Offenders are usually people you know well.
