Do MSN addresses get deleted?

Hello,



I found my OLD OLD OLD MSN recently(like 3-4+ years old). I want to access it but i've of course forgotten the password, and when I try to recover it, it says the email address was deleted.


Am I doing it wrong, or does MSN delete old inactive accounts?

 

They deactivate accounts after 60 days (or something like that) and after another 30 (or somewhere around there), they delete them.
