One of my friend introduced me to domains.live.com as it facilitates the domain owner to create 50 mail accounts and use them free for the lifetime. I logged into domains.live.com using my very old hotmail account. I then included a domain which is now pending its DNS settings before getting ready to create mail accounts under it. Later I included another domain of a friend for which I made all the required DNS and MX settings. Also created few mail accounts under this domain and things are all working fine. But I have some problem and queries:

1. My friend wants to have a access over his domain in domains.live.com so that he can himself manage all his mail requirements. I initially thought of creating a mail id and making it a alias so that he too can log into the administration screen. But since that will give him a access to my domain as well, can you suggest me a solution, is there a provision my which I can create a alias and restrict the permissions to his specific domain only or will it be possible to create a new account in domains.live.com and move his domain from my account to his newly created account ?

2. Coming to my domain now, what happens if we delete a domain from domains.live.com and can we include it again at later point of time or will it not allow that specific domain ever again to be included in domains.live.com and create fresh 50 mail id's ?

3. Suppose we have multiple domains under one single domains.live.com account, can we create 50 mail id's for each such domain or will we get limited to a total of 50 mail ids for all the domains combined ?

4. How much is the space allocated to each mail id created and can we extend it if needed. If yes, what will be the process and cost involved. Also help me understand its impact(if any) over other mail accounts space in use, will i have extend for all the id's

5. Will this service of domains.live.com remain available for all its existing customer or does it come with a threat even for the existing users, should Microsoft ever decide either to make it a paid service or completely remove this facility ? I hope it would not happen

6. From where can we check the mail space allocated and that in use by a specific mail id created under a domain  ?

7. My domain is showing status as 'pending DNS configuration' in domains.live.com screen. If I delete it from here at this stage, can I include it in a new account or once deleted I cannot ever enjoy the microsoft outlook live mail services. I am asking this as no mail id's have been created under this domain till now because of its pending DNS settings.

8. What if we want more than 50 mail id's at a later point of time or some day in future. Will he have to pay only for the additional mail id's needed or will the entire account move from a free account to a payment account requiring us to pay for all the old mails and the new mails as well.

9. Can I setup these mail accounts created in domains.live.com in any smart phone or blackberry instrument ?

10. What does 'Mobile version' mean ? How can i know if my account is equipped as a mobile version or not ?
I have had no troble so far sending e-mails via outlook (which is rubbbish)after hotmail.But today i cant send or save to drafts what is going on please
Hello,

First I'd like to say that finding an answer about Hotmail is a nightmare. I don't know about other products but it is just unbelievable.
Second: I don't think other users should be "used" by Microsoft to do what Microsoft should be doing, helping its customers.

Third, I am just lost with Windows mail, Windows Live mail, Hotmail, Outlook... What is the point behind all those programs?

My question: there used to be an acknowledge window when one had just sent an email. Is it gone with the arrival of wonderful Outlook? Besides, I see the posts of many users asking for an receipts acknowledgement. Answers: there is no such thing OR go to Windows live and do this and do that. I have (apparently) Windows Live and I just don't see those Tabs and the delivery option. Just what I was saying at the beginning: a maze!

Cheers,
CD
Below his sign in was a message that he needed a code also.  He didn't have this before and didn't know what to do so he did nothing (of course).  How can he open his account ?

  1. How long time of an email address will be expired or deleted from microsoft Team if the the email is not in use or not solved blockage?
  2. Is that can be available for another user to create his new account from that email witch was deleted after a moment?

Hi all

 

I have only ever had 2 e mail accounts, the one my personal hotmail account, the other a work e mail address which I used to access when working from home on my laptop. I no longer work for the company. When I try and access my Hotmail account from a computer other than my laptop, ie internet café, I put in my hotmail address and password and Microsoft takes me to a window showing the old work address and saying I have not accessed this account for some time and a verification will be sent. This verification goes to my ex boss who has kept my work e mail address open for business purposes. She is suspicious and assumes that I am somehow trying to access my old work e mail, which is ridiculous. How do I delete anything pertaining to the work e mail off of my settings, so I can access my hotmail account. I just tried the process, but gives me a 28 day scenario but that means I cant get into my hotmail for 28 days which is not an option. I work from it on a daily basis. Help please!!
