I have an old WebTV box with 5 different accounts. I successfully transferred the main account to Outlook and the favorites to Skydrive. Was able to convert the second to Outlook but don't see the button to transfer the favs to Skydrive. When I try to
convert the other 3 accounts to Outlook I'm told that there is no such account. On the WebTV they are there. Have tried numerous times with no success. Naturally I waited till very late in the game.
HELP?!?!?
After spending days trying to fix too many problems with an old version of Outlook - I gave up and decided I was going to try outlook.com as my primary tool.
Many problems - biggest - many posts on this forum about an existing problem with folders. According to MS you can have 124 main/parent folders but unlimited sub folders. Obviously something is wrong because I along with a whole bunch of other people
keep getting the error when adding sub folders. The MS guy said the work around was to down load (he provided a link) Windows Live Mail. He said we can add to our hearts content there and then it will show at outlook.com
I did it....hours later....I'm cleaning out my boxes in Windows Live Mail. Deleting and adding subfolders. I synced frequently and tested it at outlook.com and it was working....for about 20 minutes.
NOW I get an error in Windows Live Mail
Unable to send or receive messages for the Msn (clarksnack) account.
Server Error: 5102
Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x8DE00002
I found posts on this board with many people having the same problem and the answer is always the same - hit reply and provide your full email address and someone at MS will fix it on the back end. Problem is, when you hit REPLY it just spins and spins
and spins for longer than 15 minutes. I gave up.
I'm not sending a whole message that captures just a small eensy % of the effort have put into this hoping someone feels so sorry for me that the fix ALL the problems magically instantly so I can actually work instead of figure out how to get my emails.
my email is *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and I pasted the FULL error message above. THERE IS NOTHING IN MY OUT BOX.
HELP anyone.
I've seen some similar posts but I have not found a solution to my issue yet.
I log into outlook.com using a hotmail account (which I've owned for almost 15 years), which was also used for Messenger (and now for Skype). and I haven't had any issues at whatsoever.
Until recently. A few days ago I noticed that all my Messenger contacts in Skype were shown as Offline, eventhough I confirmed that most of them were actually online. When I ask them to verify, they told me that they see ME as offline (and obviously I wasn't). And noticed that the problem occurred in multiple PCs (work and home),, on iphone, ipad... so clerly the problem was not client application related but account related.
I contacted Sype support but to be honest they were absolutely of no help. So, I had to keep "researching" about the issue... as I was performing several tests, came to realize that in Outlook.com ALL MY CONTACTS WERE GONE.
If I go to the People page, it says I have NO contacts.
If I try to recover deleted contacts, I received a message saying that I have no contacts.
Checked for virus or malicious sofware... I'm clean.
Just to make sure, I did try several browsers and PCs and even from iPad... only to confirm that it made no diference.
I've browsed throgh this community and tried several different suggestions... none of them has helped. My contacts seeem to have just vanished.
Could my account being hacked? As I mentioned my account has been active for many years and I cannot afford to lose my contacts. How can I recover them? How can I get someone from Microsoft support to recover them for me?
HELP will be greatly appreciated.
I go through the menu, request a code to be sent to the alternative address I have provided, insert as requested BUT it just gets rejected. This has now happened 10-12 times and as one previous contributor remarked on a similar issue, I have now run out of 'skips' and days!
When I go back into the my Account which needs the code, I see that instead of confirming that the code has been sent to the alternative email address I've provided (another Hotmail account), it says it's been sent to the mobile number I originally included but this number is no longer current...... I wanted the code to be sent ONLY to the alternative email address, not the phone number...
Is this stuff going to happen on all my Hotmail accounts eventually??
Please let me know what I need to do to try and retrieve the Account - I am UK based

I accidentally used the wrong birth date 2 register a new email account and now Outlook wants a parent to sign in and give permission to allow the "child" to access the account. How do I correct this when I can't even sign in due to the age restriction?
Hello,
A while ago, my Xbox Live account was locked for some reason (I assume it was hacked). Normally, this would just require me to have the password reset, but I have a unique situation: The email account that I originally used to sign up for Xbox Live no
longer exists. I attempted to use the following steps found on another thread:
"Please go to this link to start the account validation process:
1. Enter your Microsoft account that you're trying to recover and type in the characters you'll see in the pictures
2. Hit Next.
3. Click "I can’t use any of these options".
4. Enter your Microsoft account you are trying to get back into
5. Enter a working alternate email address to where we can contact you.
6. Click “Next”.
7. Fill-out the form as accurate as you can and click “Submit”."
I filled out the form and submitted it, but got an automated reply 1 hour later telling me the following:
"Your Microsoft account [defunct account] was created using an email address from a provider other than Microsoft. To reset your password for this account, follow these steps:
- Click Here for the Microsoft account password reset page.
- Select an option and click "Reset your password".
- Enter your Microsoft Account, then enter the security characters, lastly click "Next".
- On the following page, select "Email me a reset link" and then click "Next".
- A reset link is now sent to your email address.
Should you require further assistance, please visit the Microsoft account Support Pages.
The account recovery request with issue number [issue number] has been closed."
Unfortunately, these steps only allow for you to reset your password to a CURRENTLY ACTIVE email account tied to your Xbox Live account, which I DO NOT have, hence me filling out that form in the first place. Exactly what steps do I need to take to retrieve my Xbox Live account beyond the steps that have been provided, since the processes above do not seem to work?
I had changed my password to my hotmail account and forgot where I wrote it and in guessing what it was I failed and finally opted to reset the password again. this time the prompts said I did not have the right answers to the security question and locked
me out with a message stating they believed someone was trying to access my account and they locked it out .Tried to talk to microsoft on the phone and got dropped calls before I could finish explaining the problem. I have been passed all aeound all over to
people that say that they dont deal with my particular issue. What should I do next to get this resolved? Can youy help?
I've been having a lot of problems with the lack of storage capacity on my mobile but cannot keep up with the deleting as it is very slow, after trawling through Orange for months and following instructions and then onto HTC themselves and following every
suggestion, and going through all the storage sync facility apps such as google play and evernote etc which cannot be used at this point in time due to lack of room to upload, so going through mob found had forward email capacity checked with htc and yes I
had this available all the time so tried and didn't work all day, back to both hyc and Orange and Bt and they've all said no problem their end so it comes down to hotmail problem not accepting emails from phone, my mob keeps breaking, I need it desperately
