I made a change of primary alias, just like my previous troubles, only this time I deleted the original one in the hope that I could move it to another account (one of my two educational Office 365 mailboxes). I had already connected one of those to the other along with a Yahoo and a Gmail, giving me a total of four for this, which left me with three remaining addresses from that same, eight-year old Windows Live ID that I had yet to successfully bring under the same roof.
I was unable to apply its main component to the 365 area because I was told that, for reasons beyond my own comprehension, the @hotmail.com domain cannot be added. This was after replacing it as the primary in a bid to bypass the 'already taken' errors, then after deleting it to no avail, only to then find that recreating it where it had been before was also impossible (I had previously removed aliases and later reversed this so I was led to believe it was safe as I could at least revive it for its native account).
Now my situation looks really quite dire, as all signs are suggesting that this recipient on which I rely so heavily is now apparently non-existent. Please assure me this is not the case and provide some steps to remedy this so that I at least have some sort of access to it? I know of the 30-day rule and hope this is the worst-case scenario, although I am of the opinion that even this relatively short time is not an acceptable period to wait considering how vital and time-sensitive the very nature of email usage is. Even signing up again from scratch appears to be out of the question thanks to the new @outlook system taking over - I want the same IDs as I have been using and have no intention of cluttering things up with new ones.
Any help is appreciated, although I trust you will understand that the sooner I receive a response for this pressing and particularly concerning predicament, the better. Thanks in advance.
I updated to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8, being promised, Skydrive would now work on 8.1, but: skydrive still does not automaticall update online content. Last night I added files to the Skydrive folders in explorer, really needing them today at work... nothing to be found online????? How come?
And please...no one tell me about POP or IMAP. Email can be made to work I'm really interested in calendar sync.
I LOST ALMOST ALL OF MY CONTACTS AFTER HOTMAIL TO OUTLOOK SWITCH. DID SOME READING AND TRIED TO CLICK ON THE "TO" ABOVE CONTACTS AS WELL AS PEOPLE/ RESTORE CONTACTS. IT DOES NOT WORK, IN PEOPLE IT SAYS THAT I DONT HAVE ANY CONTACTS. I CAN ONLY SEE FIVE FREQUENTLY USED CONTACTS IN OUTLOOK.
I SEE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO PROPER SOLUTION, NEITHER DOES MICROSOFT SEEM TO CARE. I AM READY TO SWITH TO ANOTHER PROVIDER - FREE OR NOT - THIS IS JUST SILLY.
