"old emails - from hotmail: I had a hotmail account that I stopped using in 2011 - because of a suspected fraud problem after my computer was stolen. I would like to know if it is possible to access the stored emails from that account now. Would they still exist?"

Probably not. But, contact Microsoft just to be certain.

Alternative Thoughts:
Find these stored on an extra device that you previously had associated to that Hotmail Account. Also, look on any device you have or on some storage media (i.e. mailboxes saved to an external hard drive). Perhaps they are stored on there.
