Dont think that you can, but they naturally expire if unused for a period ....90 days ?

Cheers

I thought it was 4 months of inactivity before they expired, but i haven't use hotmail since iTools was released.

I have an old hotmail account that I don't use anymore. Just out of curiosity, I logged in a few months ago (way past the 4-months thing), and it was still there! It was "deactivated", but it still exists, waiting for you to log back in again. I really wish there was a way to permanently delete a hotmail account.

I think it is actually 30 days of non usage. Just got rid of mine last month.

After not logging in for 30 days, your account becomes inactive. 90 days after that, if you still have not logged in, the account is permantantly deleted.
