Starting a couple of weeks ago I have been prompted to provide my phone number in order to obtain a so called better protection of my account. Naturally, I have clicked "Next" and ignored it. Now my account is blocked unless I provide my phone number.

I have two questions:

1. How do I access my account again without providing my PERSONAL (and I emphasize PERSONAL) phone number?

2. How do I avoid providing my phone number to Microsoft in the future?

So, please let me know how do I access my account WITHOUT providing my phone number or some additional e-mail which, by the way, are not your business to know.

In case that you will not agree to let me bypass this "security" question for the future, please just provide me an access to my account in order to recover any data and addresses I have there and close it.

Thank you,

Ioan

I've got around 10 top level folders; and one of these folders, I have around 70 subfolders, and 4 or 5 nested folders. When I try to create a new folder I receive a message saying: You've reached the maximum numbers of folders.

I'm moving my mails from Thunderbird and Gmail to Outlook and outlook.com and I need to have more folders.

Thanks for the answers

Best regards

Josep

I've seen several posts on this subject and I seem to have all the same symptoms.  Originally only a few contacts showed up on the phone, then I configured the "view by" settings the same (last name first, sort by last name), deleted and reinstalled the account.  The contacts came in once, but are not updated.  When I do a manual sync nothing changes.

 

Several other anomalies exist.  To name a couple

1. When I go to the manual sync settings and select "sync now" the last sync date/time updates.  But when I go to the detailed setting for the contacts it shows a last sync date of a week ago.

2. The server name that I enter (as prescribed on the outlook.com help (s.outlook.com) changes after I exit settings and re-enter to "bay-m.hotmail.com"

 

I references to private replies and account setting changes.  Please help.

1. There is no way to turn reading pane off. It eats up the visual space and prevents reading the full email.

2. Can't print out the email and when it prints, only a small portion of message prints out with lotts of "white space - double spaces"

3. Email format is terrible and disrupting the full email message from being read. Ads block the full message and can't turn off the message pane and ad pane. Makes me not want to buy anything.

4. . Can't print a full email message - what causes that? Your previous version was much better.

I have searched the forum and used the support help dropdown box filters and all it does is take you in a circle. How do you turn off auto renewal on your skydrive subscription?
