    Not sure what you are trying to accomplish?
    Is the email address for the Hotmail account the same or different
    than the email address for the Windows Live account?
    If different, just abandon (ignore) the Hotmail account. Hotmail
    automatically deactivates accounts for lack of activity, which I think
    occurs after 90 days.

    Things are getting a bit confused here.
    Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail are not accounts,
    they are email programs in which you can install many different
    kinds of email accounts.

    Windows Mail is not able to handle Hotmail accounts, but Windows
    Live Mail can.

    Thanks Gary - So now I understand that these are email programs, not
    accounts, and they are independent of each other in all respects. I am
    going to try and delete the Hotmail account and see what happens. In any
    event if I am not able to delete it, I will as you suggest abandon it totally

    Try e-mail the server and tell them you want to close your account.
