Microsoft claims to have corrected the problem of "missing emails"

Microsoft said Monday night that corrected a problem in its Hotmail e-mail, which removed thousands of emails from users. Hundreds of people had complaints over the weekend disappearance of messages on the forums of the company. In some cases, messages were simply destroyed, in others they were transferred into the trash mail.

Microsoft claims to have been able to restore all the messages affected by the problem, which involved more than 17,000 users, according to the company. Microsoft claims to have identified the problem, related to a "load balancing between servers," without giving details. According to figures from the firm Comscore, Hotmail, the first courier in the world, has about 360 million users.
