Greetings from Australia, I am travelling to Europe May June July 2015 and taking my laptop to access my Hotmail emails. Because I email from different locations I get locked out of Hotmail and have to use gmail for the rest of my travel - is there any way to avoid this lockout?
Cheers from Bill - b**s@hotmail.com

I did a lot of research and there is not way to make sure this does not happen again with your Hotmail. You may face this every time you travel because it is a built in protocol due to the fact that Hotmail has a lot of problems with fraudulent emails. I know that once you are able to get back into Hotmail you can go in your settings and each of the places it has flagged mark them that it was you and not someone else. Doing this may keep it from happening when you visit those same areas again. Please let me know if you need more help or if I covered what you needed to know please click the problem solved button.
Thanks,
Heather

Did you try what I said for you to do?

I have not left for overseas as yet so the places will not be flagged yet.

I would prefer organising something BEFORE I travel overseas perhaps by having Hotmail issue me with a confirmation pin to use or similar.

As far as I know their is not a way to do it before hand. And there is no guarantee it will flag it once you are traveling.
