The telephone number listed on my account is outdated.  When I try to change it, as well as other pertinent information on the account (i.e. it's time for my annual pymt) I receive instruction that for security reasons they first need to text or call me with a security code.....but of course I don't have that telephone number anymore. When I call Microsoft, I receive a recording that tells me I don't have access to customer service (SIGH).

Please advise

When I logged on this morning my e-mail was working fine.  I can log in and out of my account and new and old e-mails are there but they will not open.  The hour glass starts but it never responds.  It just gets stuck in limbo like it is trying but nothing changes.  I am able to log off and log back on but nothing.  I have even restarted my computer, nothing.  Have I been hacked or are there problems with hotmail/outlook?
OK, now I've been able to set up WLM 2012 on my Win 8 computer, and I've set up the local storage folders just the same as I had on my Win XP machine. Now what's the right way to move or copy my old local storage messages on the XP machine to the new local storage on the Win 8 machine? Can I (or, should I) export the old messages to a thumb drive and then import them on the new machine? Should I remove all the individual folder names (that I just added) from the new WLM? Thanks.
How do add an additional Hotmail account with different name aND PASSWORD?
After I login to MS Outlook, I receive a message that my account has been blocked.  The application will allow me to go forward but states that certain features will be blocked.  How/who do I contact to unblock my acct?  Also, I already tried resetting my password and going though all of those steps but when I signed back in I received the same notification.

Is there a public API I can use to create rules for filtering my email on Outlook.com?  I found the Live Connect API, but that doesn't seem to provide any interface to create, edit, or even view a rule.

 

I've been using Outlook to apply filtering rules to my email, but the problem is that Outlook applies these rules client-side and there is a delay for these rules to take effect when viewing email on my phone or another computer.  Frequently, it results in duplicate messages being created.  If the rules were applied on the server, this problem would be avoided.

 

I have filtering rules applied to around 1000 email addresses.  It is not realistic to try and duplicate these rules using the current web interface for creating a rule.

 

Better than an API would be if the Outlook Hotmail Connector were updated so that when rules are created in Outlook, they are run on the server.

After hours of work, SkyDrive does not sync.

 

I've reinstalled it completely many times.

I've applied all known Windows updates.

I've emptied my SkyDrive multiple times and gotten all my docs in SkyDrive.

I've restarted my computer.

I've restarted SkyDrive.

I've forwarded log files to Microsoft.

I've done everything recommended by Microsoft except making changes to the registry. 

 

SkyDrive won't sync existing or new files. 

 

 

my account is locked.......how do I unlock it.  I know longer have the email address associated with the account.  I know my email and password and the website wants to send me a code but since I no longer have that email account I can not get the code.
 I have changed my password and then it only goes to the set up page.   please help!  Thank you
