      I was going to suggest that you visit it to find out what you stored there, in case you might need it, but that'll only start the cycle over again... :laugh:

        It is tempting to check how good my memory is, but then I'm afraid to reveal the truth... :laugh:

          Another one of Mickeysoft's failed attempts to shanghai some users. It probably was just for the numbers anyway and by now nobody cares anymore.

            well, you may discover that someone else, maybe having your same name, is opening various account using your email address :-D at least, this happened to me, I had many accounts I was not aware of (samsung, apple, sony) and he gave my email address also to his high school mates to exchange homework :omg: By the way, when I took control of the mobile phone connected to one of those account, i decided not to abuse of all the information I could get :cool:, I used only the minimum to warn him that he was having some identity clashes, thinking to be someone else

              A genuine Microsoft mail? Is there a link to be clicked for reactivation?

                It seems to be very genuine - and yes it have lot of links... That's probably what made me suspicious... All links goes to the same address (click.mail.onedrive.com) regardless of the context...

                  Seems MS is sending such mails: Is this email from OneDrive a phishing attack? - Information Security Stack Exchange[^] But I would still not click on a link from the mail but login manually.

                    The response there does not convince me... 1. My email directly stated in the mail, while Microsoft uses my user name in other mails... 2. It uses the right graphical elements, but the design flow does not fit other Microsoft mails... 3. It addresses my work mail, where OneDrive is part of the Office 365 pack and can not be deleted or closed alone... 4. There are several links (including facebook and twitter), but all points to the same site... All-in-all - it tells me: NO!

                      Of course. Such (legit) mails are copied and modified for phishing or to spread malware.

                        If you have a Microsoft account, you have a OneDrive account, whether you use it or not. Hotmail.com? Outlook.com? Live.com? MSN.com? (not sure if the latter two still count)

                          Nope... (have MSDN, but on different email) This mail sent to (and mentioned) my work email, that has only Office 365... which contains OneDrive, but that can not be closed (as it is not free)...
