Please tell me you're joking....  if you enable Javascript, you might as well not have bothered using Tor.  Remember, Microsoft was one of the first companies to jump on the surveillance bandwagon. Here is an idea of what Microsoft collects, by way of data:

Hotmail: "E-mail account registration records are retained for the life of the account. Internet Protocol connection history records are retained for 60 days," according to the document. But if you, like many, switched over to Gmail and let your Hotmail account lapse, all e-mail content is "typically deleted after 60 days of inactivity. Then if the user does not reactivate their account, the free MSN Hotmail and free Windows Live Hotmail account will become inactive after a period of time."

E-mail content that is older than 180 days can be disbursed "as long as the governmental entity follows the customer notification provisions in ECPA (see 18 U.S.C. §§ 2703(b), 2705)." If the content is less than 181 days, you need a search warrant.

Stay away from Microsoft if you're trying to be anonymous.

Other options include i2p's mail service, bitmessage (http://bitmailendavkbec.onion/), and sign up for a Yahoo! mail account using Tor and always encrypting messages using GPG.
