Very good suggestion, Rolo.
Nice of you to post this, Shaunna.
Your email got hijacked, so do let the folks at hotmail know this happened. It isn't the first time and won't be the last.
Did some research:
Send an email (using another addy, obviously) to: abuse@hotmail.com
Describe your problem, and give them all the facts as well as the addy to return email to (don't count on them figuring it out).
Also... try and remember if you had any sensitive data in the emails you didn't delete as the hackers now "own" the account and the info.
You might have to notify your bank, gov't agencies, credit card companies you've been hacked.... to do necessary damage control.
Notify your contacts as well... not to open any emails from the hacked account until you notify them from another email addy with a code sentence
(tell them what it will be) in the title of the email (so they won't open possibly 'tinged/infected' emails until they see that title.
