Configuring preferences and options in Outlook.com
Hi,
Thank you for your response.
You cannot view a private message it can be viewed only by the recipient. This doesn't seem to be cause of your account being hacked, however, if you suspect that your account is hacked then you may refer the following article and perform the steps mentioned in the article from the link below:
My account has been hacked

If your account has been upgraded to Outlook Mail interface, then the steps mentioned might vary in the section: Reset your account settings. Therefore, I would recommend you to login to https://mail.live.com/ through the web browser. click on the Gear icon and then select Options. Expand Mail and check for all the sections under Mail. If you find anything suspicious, kindly remove it.
Also, I have sent you a private message as well, please check the message and reply through private message itself.
Regards,
Jesinta Rozario
