So I made the switch to an @outlook.com account from within my @hotmail.com account. All my messenger contacts and groups have been moved over to the new account, however all my contacts are offline and do not show up on the messenger tab on the right side of outlook.com. I've asked a friend and although it says I am signed in on the Outlook.com site, I am not online in their messenger. How can I fix this so that I can use outlook.com to chat with my messenger contacts? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
How To add  new OUTLOOK.COM email on iPHONE?

In the left column of Hotmail the "sent"  "drafts"  "deleted" vanished. The personal categories still remain. How can I get them back? Thanks for any help.

I have a problem using Outlook.com.  Where can I report the problem?

 

We've added a new product in Answers for Outlook.com. You can now ask your questions in product Outlook.com in Hotmail,Messenger & Skydrive forum     

I got a question if i wanted a new address when using outlook.com .. i thought it was an additional address not a replacement. 

I got a mail with link to revert to @live.no, but using the link just gave me the message "Account does not exist"  need my old address back! *** Email address is removed for privacy *** ... Or have i misunderstood, are both addresses active somehow?  

Of course i didnt get any warning that my windowsphone account wouldnt work anymore.. it is stated when going through outlook settings, but i didnt get the message when it asked me to change account name. 

Please help :) 

btw: Outlook.com is an amazing service :) 

 
After first login into Outlook.com you receive an offer for a new "email address""

Get a Outlook email address for your new inbox


You can get a new email address from Outlook. You don't have to worry about your contacts and previous emails, you'll keep them. And, you'll continue receiving messages sent to your Hotmail address.


Get new ID


No downside to that offer!   Be a nice chance to snag something easy to remember in the new domain.  BUT once you sign up for the new "email address" you get a message telling you that you just botched your live account and you have to use the new one to login now. On your phone. On your xbox. On all your other email clients. In Messenger. NoOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! 


Here are a few other things to keep in mind:


· Email sent to your old address will still go to your account.


· Remember to always sign in with your new address; you won't be able to sign in with your old one. Why didnt you warn me first?


· If you'd like to stop receiving mail sent to your old address, just delete that address in account services.



I dont like my new email address that much. Not enough to make it my new login.
Change it back! Change it back!

The address i wanted to use for Hotmail was unavailable when I started using it - but was available for Outlook.Com - so i grabbed it.

Now i'd like all my old hotmail messages (and new ones I get at that address also) to come into the new Outlook accout i just set up.  Is that possible?

I'm looking to test this some more and was wondering if there are POP3 Setting available for the new Outlook.com

Thanks
