Question asked on Aug 7, 2013
I went into my old hotmail account and added 2 new aliases.  I was under the impression that these would be able to receive emails, and I would eventually like to migrate my entire @hotmail.com account over to the new alias (and let the old @hotmail be an alias for the new email).  However, through my testing, I can't receive messages to my alias account.  When I send a message, it shows in the from as my @outlook.com alias, but replying gets a bounceback that no mailbox could be found.

So I went into my 'More Mail Settings' under 'Your Email Accounts' and noticed that my aliases were not listed.  I tried to add them in there, but I get a little bar of orange text that says "This email address is already an alias on your account."  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
