I forget my old hotmail email address. how to find it?

Dear saqlain zaidi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Answers Community.

I understand you're trying to recover an old Hotmail email address but have forgotten the exact address. I know how frustrating that can be, and I will do my best to help you find it. 

Here are a few methods you can try to locate your old email address: 

1. Use the Microsoft Account Recovery Page: You can go to the Microsoft account recovery page and use an associated phone number or alternate email address to find your username. Simply follow the on-screen instructions, and Microsoft will show you a list of any accounts linked to that contact method. 

Here is the link: Recover your account 

2. Check Your Other Email Accounts: If you used your Hotmail address to sign up for other services (like social media or online shopping), try searching through your current email inboxes for confirmation emails from Microsoft or Hotmail. These messages often include your old email address. 

3. Look on Your Devices: If you still have an old phone, tablet, or computer where you might have been signed in, check the email apps, browser history, or saved passwords. Your address might still be saved there. 

4. Ask Your Contacts: If you ever sent emails from that account to friends or family, they may still have messages from you in their inbox. Ask them to check their sender's list for your old Hotmail address. 

Important Notes 

For your security and privacy, please do not share any personal information like your phone number or full email address on this public forum. This helps protect you from potential risks. 

Also, be aware that if an account has been inactive for a long time, it might have been deleted due to Microsoft's account inactivity policy. 

Please let me know if these steps help you find your email address.
