Hello, 

Now that linking accounts has been disabled, I have been attempting to access my three accounts from just one account. I use each separate account for a different purpose on the web. 

Inbox>Options>Your email accounts

When I go to add one as an alias, it says I cannot because it is already taken. 

When I got to simply add an account, and it sees I am trying to add another @live or @hotmail, it says I should instead link the accounts. 

Problem is, linking is disabled!

Any solution to this problem? I can't simply start new email addresses, because I have been using all three for over 5 years. 

I could forward the emails to the main account, but I couldn't send any from those tertiary accounts. 

Help! 

Please and thank you ^_^ Constantly having to sign in and out is driving me crazy haha
