I opened an email Hotmail account and clicked on a link. I've since realised it must have been a scam. Since then I'm not receiving emails. There is plenty of data space.

    I see. Your Hotmail may be blocked after clicking the scam link. Check your account security at https://account.microsoft.com/securityfor alerts and reset your password if needed at https://account.live.com/ResetPassword.aspx

    Review Outlook filters and your junk folder to make sure emails are not redirected.

    Just to ask, did you notice any security alerts after clicking the link?
