Account compromised, password reset links expired?!?

08. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
Hi all,

I've been having issues with my hotmail/outlook account. It started off with a message after signing in saying that it looks like other people have been using my account, so I had to fill out a questionnaire to validate that I was the rightful owner of the account. I answered questions such as "name some of the email folders you have created for this account" and "provide the subject titles of recent emails you have sent". This went through fine and I was sent the following email to reset my password (I have blanked out my email address in the links for security reasons):

Right on! The information you submitted for *email address* has been verified.

Click this link to reset your password:

If you didn't make this request, click this link to cancel:

After you reset your password, we highly recommend that you update your security information to help keep your account more secure. Adding a phone number, an alternate email address, or a trusted PC will help you get back into your account if you ever lose access to it in the future.

Go to https://account.live.com/proofs/manage to sign into your account and manage your security information.

Thanks,
The Microsoft account team

The link that came through said it was expired when I clicked on it, so I requested another. I have now requested many reset links and they have all said they are expired (even when clicking on them immediately after they came through). I really need to access my emails ASAP. Please could someone help urgently?!

Man thanks,

Laura

The Topic is a Calendar that is remotely accessible, sharable and works – why not Outlook?

08. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,

I need ONE calendar that is accessible on four PCS and an Android phone (Galaxy S 4), all physically located in different places and different networks but all mine and not shared with anyone else.

 

  • Google calendar doesn't cut it. Pretty good but insufficient categorization and recurring event capability.  GUI is not very informative.
  • Windows 8 Calendar on Sky Drive doesn't cut it. Very elementary and featureless
  • There is only one calendar that I have found to be acceptable that has all the necessary features. Outlook!  What a concept.

 

Outlook Calendar in any of the Office suites is wonderful.  Colored categories, excellent recurring event features, the works. However, It is not easy to share it without a special server.

 

  • I have my main Outlook pst file on my main PC.
  • I have eight POP mail accounts.
  • All accounts are accessed on my main computer.
  • A subset accessed by each of the other computers.
  • Only one computer of the group may delete mail on a single POP account server and no one computer deletes mail on all the servers.
  • Each of the computers have their own pst file.

 

I have tried making a separate pst as a Master Calendar file and stored it on SkyDrive to be accessed by each of the computers when outlook opens.  It sort of works but does not sync properly.  ("Properly" is defined as syncing the way I want it to") 

  1. It seems that each computer makes a separate copy of the master and stores that back on SkyDrive.
  2. I want the SkyDrive copy to stay in sync with any changes made on any of the other computers including Android. 
  3. No two devices need to access the file at the same time although it would be nice if they could. 
  4. I do not want to have to make an ics copy of the master calendar file.

 

Come on Microsoft - make this work!  You can generate a set of application requirements from this note.  Just make it work.  You have done it with One Note.  Why not Outlook?

 

As far as I am concerned, the office apps in the Windows 8 Metro environment are pretty useless, particularly for someone who has been using Office and Outlook for as long as it has been on the market.  Why take a giant step backwards?

Locked out of email, need to verify desperately

08. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com
Hello,
 I've been locked out of my old email account and cannot not verify that I am the one that created it, as I created it so long ago. Can someone please help?!
It all started when I tried to log in and it said something like "It looks like someone else is trying ro use your account." From then on, I haven't been able to get access and in fact seemed to make the situation worse by trying to provide as much information as possible even though it wasn't enough.
There's so much information in there that I need desperately including tickets I recently paid for. I thought I knew the answer to my secret question but apparently not. Please ASAP someone help!
Thanks Jamie
