My Hotmail account has been hacked and now the headers are all in Russian. Does anyone know how I can change this back to English? I’ve changed the password but want to change the language back so I can see which folder is junk/inhox etc. any help much appreciated!

When you've changed it back consider maybe changing the primary user on it so it's invisible. It means you can't use it for anything new but ime, once you've been hacked it happens again.

@LemonLassthank you I’ve managed to change the password, it’s just that the mail box headings are all in Russian now 🙈

Have you tried the language settings?

To change the language settings in Hotmail, log into your account, click the gear icon, then "View all settings". Under "General settings", select "Language" and choose your preferred language from the dropdown menu, then save your changes. You can also navigate directly to the Language and Time Zone settings via a specific link

Might need a translator if it's in russian
