Hello,
this is called spoofing.
it is where a spammer will send emails which will appear to be from you.
If you do not see it in your sent items then it hasn't come from your account.
The spoofing normally lasts a couple of days and it will pass.

The security policies that Microsoft provide are enforced for data protection. They will not disable this feature on an individual basis just because you don't want it.
Bear in mind that you're choosing to use microsofts service. Therefore, you're accepting their terms to such security.
Changing your personal details is very simple, once you've verified you're the account holder.
There is a way to speed up log in by following the on screen instructions.
Microsoft will tell you the same thing.

kieferschild,
Microsoft will tell me the same thing? They are so well hidden from being contacted, it appears more like a dictatorship. Do you realize how many complaints exist about their so-called security? The internet is swarming with them. Most of these searches of complaints mention their aggravations at not being able to talk to anyone in charge of security.
You said "Changing your personal details is very simple, once you've verified you're the account holder." Really? I sign in to my account with the correct password, and after updating my alternate email (a Gmail account) and verifying yes, I DID make this change, I went back to change my password. I was informed my account was on lock-down and I had to wait 30 days. They didn't ask me for answers to my secret questions, and I did go to my updated alternate email to verify that yes -- I DID make this change. So, what takes 30 days for them to verify I am the account holder? Why didn't they ask me my secret questions?
Their 'security' is making it a miserable experience just to manage one's own account/information; not to mention how it seems be a trickle-down effect; resembling the Unconstitutional Acts and Laws that have been signed in; that strip Americans of their rights & freedoms ...
I'm very low profile; and use my email address for communicating with friends and family. I don't go to questionable websites, I'm not a criminal or a whacko up to no good. I should be able to have the right to choose what level of security I want.
I feel as if I'm being dominated and punished for trying to do what I've always done ... change my information when necessary. This email address at hotmail is sentimental to me, it was my very first email address. Everyone who knows me, writes to me at this email. I managed just fine for many years on a password and secret questions. And who are YOU, kieferschild? Do you work for Hotmail, or are you a volunteer? Why would anyone wish to volunteer for a email server that antagonizes its customers with unnecessary, over-powering micro-managing?

No, I don't work for Microsoft but I do use hotmail and have no problems with security. I've also been successful in contacting them regarding recovery of an old email address.
You must either have your profile set up incorrectly or you're doing something wrong.

Didn't find the answer you are looking for?
Ask a question
I guess this end user (@truefreedom1956) would rather the providers just give control over to whomever can ask for an account they want!!!
Nobody would have any security online in your "INTERNET", truefreedom1956.
I have no problem with any of my questions, on any of my accounts! Then again, if I did, I either use the account, or I don't. Until I buy a domain to point to a cluster of servers that I STAND UP, and make my own CONTENT PROVIDERS, I guess, I have to do WHATEVER it takes!
You can always choose what level of security you want. Use it or not!
I have a good method for you, write down five words. Keep it next to your keyboard. By the way, are you concerned about PHYSICAL SECURITY, or just online? In my IT world, PHYSICAL is just as important. No-one (most certainly some HACKER WHO WANTS TO SEND YOU PORN) will have access to the little post it that has five random words on it.
How do the words fit in here, you ask? They are your answers to the five questions they ask. Here is the thing, the password people DO NOT CARE IF YOUR ANSWERS DO NOT MAKE SENSE!
Let me know if you get my DRIFT!
Have FUN!

Hi truefreedom1956,
It seems that the only question that you ask is in the very last line of your initial rant. Let me try to answer this fully in one or two lines ...
You said: "How can I contact hotmail security?"
Go to the following address and fill out the form so a ticket can be opened :
http://account.live.com/...
I know its a long address, but its the one they ask you to go on on the very first page - before you even try to log into your account. Its in a link marked as "Cant access your account?"
Now the answer is provided, I still dont understand why you dont want a good security feature ... but you also dont want anyone to be able to send emails from your account. Dont the two go hand in hand?
And why does it feel like you are shouting at kieferschild? He only tried to help.

But regardless, I routinely change my password after several months to a year. My problem is SECURITY, not allowing me the freedom to change information on my account without excessive intrusions that hinder my freedom to do what used to be a simple task ... making changes to my information. I've been trying for weeks to find a way to contact security. I'm not sure you read my entire post, but I dono t want this invasive micro-managing from security. I never asked for it and I don't need it. It's enough to have secret questions and a good password.
