Short answer for : Microsoft’s account “Recent activity” shows sign‑in entries and the IP address used, but the web UI only exposes about the last 30 days of activity — so it cannot be relied on to list every sign‑in from the previous two months. As observed, the raw server logs live with Microsoft, not in the webmail UI. (support.microsoft.com)

How to check (concrete): sign in to the Microsoft account Security/Recent activity page (account.live.com / account.microsoft.com/security), open “Review recent activity” and expand any entry to see date/time, IP address, device/OS and browser. Entries flagged as “Unusual activity” have options such as “This wasn’t me” or “Secure your account” to force a password reset and sign out sessions. Note that mobile carriers, NATs and VPNs can make location look misleading. (support.microsoft.com)

Why message headers usually won’t help: headers on received messages show mail server hops, not web‑login IPs. Hotmail/Outlook historically used an X‑Originating‑IP header but that was removed/obscured (replaced by X‑EIP) for privacy years ago, so message source headers typically won’t reveal who viewed the mailbox. Inspecting headers is useful for tracing senders, but not for listing account sign‑in IPs. (en.wikipedia.org)

If sign‑ins look suspicious: follow ’s direction to secure the account immediately, then go further — reset the password, remove unrecognized app passwords, sign out everywhere, and enable two‑step verification (Microsoft Authenticator or phone codes). For records older than the Recent activity window, Microsoft will only disclose server logs in response to valid legal process from law enforcement; direct full‑history retrieval by an individual is not provided in the consumer UI.

contact Microsoft if you think you have been hacked

The hotmail service is located on Microsoft servers. They would most likely be collecting that information in their logs. It is unlikely that you can gain access to that information.
