    Never got anything like that.
    This is made to reduce the amount of emails made for scammers or spammers.

    Never reply to anything like this, it's fake, hotmail will never do that. It's people trying to steal your email account, and get things like your paypal details from it and steal your money.

    Delete it.

    this is not an error,its a phishing email which has been sent to you to get your username and password which would give the people access to your mail and hence to other important information in your mail.
    Do not reply to these mails.

    It's a phishing e-mail and they're trying to access your info through your e-mail.

    Suppose to be in GMail's spam folder. It clearly states it is a fraudulent e-mail trying to steal user security information. It's good that you do not trust this kind of emails.
