I have been having a LOT of problems getting birthdays to work in outlook.com.  Most of the problems went away when I deleted a calendar that I had created from an ICS file that I had exported from Outlook 2010.  The one persistent problem is that when I add a birthday on the Calendar, it creates a duplicate contact in People instead of just adding the birthday in the existing contact, as it should do, according to your help information.  I can live with this, and only add birthdays by editing the contact, but it would be more convenient to do it via the Calendar, if possible.
Is there a time limit on flagged emails? I swear I flag some and then I look up and they area slowly gone?

How does one tell when your box or account is too high. I wonder if that is why they are disappearing - they are not OLD emails - maybe a month or so.
Thank you
Somehow I have two Microsoft Community accounts and it's causing a lot of confusion because I'm trying to log in with my main email but it's linked to another account for which my main email isn't even listed as the email.  And the email is listed for this account that I'm logged into now, but I can't use it to log into this one.  Extremely strange and confusing.  Can you please tell me how to delete an account and how to sync so that this account does recognize my main email when attempting to log in?

I didn't switch to Outlook.  I though it was okay to stay with Hotmail.  However, I haven't received any emails to my account in some time.

 

Are they being forwarded to an outlook account or just lost.

 

Any help appreciated>

I get this  message each  time

We cannot send your email at this time because we are unable to access SkyDrive. Please save a draft and try sending the email later

today, i delated my account by mistake. when i try to log in, website says that account doesn't excist. when i try to create new account on the same e-mail address, it shows me that this e-mail address is busy.

I would like to set up an alias outlook account w/o the original a/c showing as the sender, only the alias??????????????

 

I did set up an alias, but when I tried it,  the name on the original account was showing???????????

 

If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know.

 

Super Thanks. 

My office employees are all trying to create accounts and after the first few everyone else starting getting the 450 error. I understand you automatically block after 3 accounts.

 

Who do I need to contact to get this resolved? We cannot wait 24 hours for each set of three employees to sign up. That is pretty ridiculous.

 

 

Last night, I lost the ability to create new e-mails, edit existing drafts, and forward e-mails in one of my Hotmail accounts. 

The problem started while I was typing a message - I clicked on "Save Draft" and the text suddenly disappeared.  I went into the drafts folder and found the email I had been working on was there. I opened the file, but when I clicked the button to continue editing it, nothing happened.  When I clicked on "New" to create another e-mail, nothing happened there either. 


Here are some other notes:

  • Even though I can't generate emails, I am able to receive and open them.
  • I am not having any problems with my secondary Hotmail account; it is just with my primary one. My husband and daughter have no issues logging into their Hotmail accounts.
  • The issue is only on my PC; there are no problems creating, editing, or forwarding when I access the account on my Android tablet. 
  • The problem exists whether I log in via Firefox and Internet Explorer. 
  • I cleared Firefox & Explorer histories. I did a disk clean-up. I deleted all Internet logs.
  • There were no updates installed on my computer for several weeks prior to the problem arising.
  • I did install the dozens of updates that showed up last night (about 3 hours after the problems started), then shut the computer down completely. I was hoping that one of those updates would magically fix the problem. Unfortunately, when I turned the computer back on this morning, the problem(s) still exist.

Does anyone have any ideas what happened to this particular email account and how to fix the problem?
