Question about Outlook Express

Now that the  (insert appropriate adjective here) people at Microsoft have ended account linking, is there a way to actually merge my 2 accounts?

I set up the workaround when they first announced that they would end linking, and all emails to this address (with which I am posting) are forwarded to my main account, however, I have a terrible memory and am highly likely to forget the password to this account. I would like to merge it with my main and not lose what is in it. Is there a way to convert a second account into an alias?

If not, why the *** not? We do not all have perfect memories and I NEVER save passwords because that guarantees that I will forget them but as I only ever log into this account rarely I WILL forget the password sooner or later (probably sooner as I had trouble getting into it today).

Microsoft, YOU caused this problem, now please give me a solution. I do not want to lose this account again if I lose track of time and forget to log into it once a year.

Thank you.

Hi,

I am having the same problem as everyone else.  Can you let me know how I can retrieve my disappeared emails and folder for the last 12yrs.  This is very concerning to me. 

Thanks
