password problems

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

I have had to change my password every single time I log in to MSN for the since July 19th.   I get an error message that says that I have entered the incorrect password too many times and to click "forgot my password", then I go through the password reset procedure (which allows me to log in exactly one time).  Next time I try to log in, I get the same problem.

 

this is getting really old.

cant access my main email! “someone else using my account”

06. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com
I keep getting this message since the 3/08/2013 every time I try to access my main hotmail email....I can't verify because the email it uses to send a verification code is dead (hasn't been used in years) and the one Im writing this message from is another recently created one for work related stuff. It told me to fill out a questionaire and rejected me like twice because needed extra details such as folders, names of messages sent recently when there werent any. The whole process was so dubious it felt like a fake website or something to me let alone this account I have been using so long is suddenly blocked access from me in the first place. Luckily I filled out enough to get it submitted on time, but I havent heard a response back I really need help as I've exhausted all my options! I found this link but it seems old/I don't know whether to use it http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/get-support?selectedproduct=Hotmail&selectedissue=Your%20account%20has%20been%20temporarily%20blocked&Mkt=en-US&productKey=wolmain Any help would be appreciated as soon as possible I need to access my email! 

Syncing GMail, Outlook.com and Outlook 10

06. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com
I run my business email address *** Email address is removed for privacy *** through gmail.

I have purchased a windows phone and thus need to run things through Outlook.com 

I have set this up, the challenge now is that Outlook.com uses Pop to get the emails from the GMail server.

I have used the instructions here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2735989
 to set up the Outlook 10 syncing to the Outlook.com account but it does not download the emails

The Outlook 10 account when it tries to sync to gmail account if the Outlook.com account has got there first says ah you have already POP'd these emails you do not need them again.

As far as I can see it I need my emails to go from GMail (polymath consulting address) to Outlook.com and then Outlook 10 pull them off there, but it does just not seem to work.

Plus then my Windows phone currently pulls off the GMail account so if the Outlook.com has been there it says you have seen all the emails no need to show any on your phone.

This is driving me crazy.  Thanks for any help.

How can I combine my Outlook.com Calendar appointments with my Work Calendar appointments in single Outlook Calendar view?

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

Hi - I'm trying to create one view that I can see in my Outlook Calendar that displays my work meetings/appt's AND my personal Appt's that I have from my separate personal Outlook.com address. I understand sharing calendars, but it seems to display separate views for each side by side. I'm trying to have a view that combines those appointments in one single calendar view for the day/week/month.

Use different email address to access Microsoft Account, cant use my email address as an alias

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

Hi there,

    This is Raees Iqbal, and I have a problem with renaming my account primary alias. I've actually bought this domain 'steelbrain.com.pk' for my company and I'm using this domain name to host our company's personal email addresses with Microsoft Outlook.com , by updating mx records for the domain. I'm using Windows 8 Enterprise Edition with a ymail.com's email address for my Microsoft profile, but now when I've bought this domain and have setup email accounts also, I want to change my Microsoft primary account alias to another email address with steelbrain.com.pk domain name. But when in https://account.live.com -> Overview -> Account aliases -> 'Alias' (section below my previous ymail.com email address) -> Rename -> Yes rename my primary alias -> Use an existing email address as your primary alias,  I type my new email address with steelbrain.com.pk domain (hosted on Outlook.com) and click 'Rename my primary alias, I'm getting this error "You can't use @steelbrain.com.pk in your Microsoft account email address. Please try a different email address." with no explanation at all. Now, I would like someone to explain me the problem with it. Help will be appreciated and thanks for reading.

 

Regards,

Raees Iqbal

Hi

I was recently signed out of my hotmail account (another one, not this one) on all my devices. I also got calls from my relatives saying that they got some offensive emails from me. 

I tried logging in but it doesn't let me. I use the code sent to my phone, change my password. But when I press enter it says "oops, looks like someone else is using your account. Fill out this for or use a code sent to your alternate email". The alternate email I provided is no longer showing. It is a completely different email (that I can't view because it isn't visible except the first two alphabets). So I choose to fill out a form which is of no use because it says to fill out names of folders , sent emails, subject lines etc.

I don't use this email ID to send emails. I only use it for contacts and to subscribe to the stores I shop online at. I've tried filling to without these details but it doesn't help.

Can someone help me out?

The email ID in question is an @hotmail one.

Email shifted to Junk Folder from Inbox on its own

06. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com
Hi,

I have a peculiar situation where an email is moved to the Junk Folder after I have viewed it in the inbox on my phone. I use a 3rd party email client on my phone, and it was received successfully on the device. Later when I logged in on my PC, that particular mail was shifted to the Junk Folder. It is not possible to do the shifting through the app. How did this happen?
