Can someone please help me out with this... This is my 3rd post!

I want to set up *** Email address is removed for privacy *** to my homejameskw.com domain - it is currently hosted else where ( i have gotten the transfer code from them)

When I initially set it up - I didn't realize it would need to send a confirmation email.  Problem being that I had no way of accessing the account once I Changed the MX address to windows live.  ( No access to webmail through the current host)  and they were not responding to me - it being used for a business I couldn't let it go, so I had to delete it from windows and put it back to the current host.  I didn't know that removing it from windows live would lead to me not being able to access it again!!!!

When I put the James (@homejameskw) in, I get a message that the email has been used and the required waiting period is not over - I've waited a month and it still doesn't work - is there a way to override it???

Please help!

Thanks!
