Hi,
I linked my partner's msn account to my hotmail account years ago. It was automatically changed over to Outlook about 6 months ago.
Her account has vanished this evening and I don't know how to retrieve it. There are a tonne of emails on it which need addressing asap, as she uses it for her business.
Please help and advise.
Thank you in anticipation.
Dean.

How can I add a custom list of key words that I would like blocked on my childrens accounts in addition to the ones already listed in "Block Adult Sites"?
Whenever I try to sign in to hotmail.com with my school email address (which I have done for 5 years) it says I cannot sign in because I am using 365 so to click to sign out and then sign back in, so I do and the whole mess starts over again!
HELP!
HELP!
Let's say there are a list of key words, in addition to the "Block Adult Sites" that I want to block or prevent, who do I add them for my my kids accounts?
It seems as though the linked accounts have been removed. I see that Outlook.com suggests to use alias instead of linked accounts moving forward. My issue is that I use a custom domain name through 'live domains.' When I am logged into one of my Microsoft Accounts with the live domain and go to create an alias my unique domain is not an option.
Is there a way I can use my personalized domain as an alias? Previously I had 3 accounts linked together, so I either need to now separately check 3 accounts, need to add to of the old accounts as an alias to my main account, or migrate my personal domain away from Microsoft and stop using Outlook.com
Thanks,
Manu
It always dumps into some Temp folder, even though I have Firefox save to the Desktop.
How do I change this?

How to correct the above: once the Move To menu is used to place an Email in specifice folder, the "Move To" menu refused to delete or leave
screen, popping up in various places on the screen. How can this be corrected? Does once delete Outlook and reinstall? If so, how and procedure to do same?
So, today, the termination of linked accounts finally hit me. I figured "Oh, well, I should just be able to effectively re-link the accounts using the new Alias system, as it's more or less the same thing." But guess what? Nope! You can't add already existing
accounts as aliases. So now I have my two main accounts (and a recent third) that were all linked together so that I could easily access them from a single window, and which were well established accounts used in pretty much every single facet of my online
existence, and I no longer have any viable way to see messages between them. Instead of just being able to switch to a linked account, I now have to completely log out of one account, refresh the page, and log back in to another account.
This may not seem like a big deal, but when I have to do this EVERY SINGLE TIME I want to check my email accounts for messages, it adds up to days and months and years of extra work over time. For a little bit a math, I'd say I check my email probably 20 times per day on average, switching accounts via linked accounts takes about 1 second, though by logging out, refreshing, and logging back in, as well clicking "log in with a different account" and then typing out my full email and my 13 character password, well, that takes about 20 seconds. Per account. I have three. So now I'm facing an additional 40 seconds every single time I check my accounts, an additional 13 minutes that I have to spend on my email, every day, for absolutely no reason. (And before anyone says "But 20 * 30 = 60!", I'm already logged into one of those three accounts at any point in time, so I only have to log out and back in twice to see the other two.)
So, Microsoft's whole reason for this was, let me get this straight, because linked accounts "helped the bad guys". Hmm. So you're saying that if one account was compromised, well, then all linked accounts were compromised as well! Because, while that didn't give the "bad guy" access to the passwords of those accounts, it gave them access to the accounts themselves, at which point they could read messages and send messages from all those accounts. Okay, that makes sense, except for the fact that with aliases the exact same thing occurs. Shocking.
So my rant aside, here's the actual question. Can you restore the full functionality of my previously linked accounts, using this new alias system. That is to say, I want all three of those accounts to all be linked together, as "aliases", using the same password, I don't care, I was using the same password anyway on all three. Furthermore, I want the emails to come to each of the three aliases individually, with the ability to switch between the inboxes of those aliases. I do NOT want one communal inbox where all the personal emails from my personal account mix up with my business emails from my business account. I want to only see the emails coming to my business account, then switch to only seeing the emails coming from my personal account. If this isn't possible, I'm done with hotmail. It's been a downhill spiral since the outlook update, and I'm just tired of Microsoft screwing over the customers more and more in the name of "progress", when all they're actually doing is making it easier on their databases. It will be a royal pain in the **** to switch over 10+ years of subscriptions and contacts to gmail, but it will be worth it in the long run.
