I recently found out that it's possible to register outlook.com as the email handler for my own domain (registered through namecheap). I went to http://domain.live.com, followed all the steps, registered and configured my DNS and that all works correctly. Before doing all this I already had a live id (@Hotmail.com) that I use on my Windows Phone, my SkyDrive, Windows machines, etc. Basically on everything. It also has the early adopter 25GB SkyDrive limit.

After creating the domains.live.com service (using my Hotmail.com live id) and setting everything up I also went through and added my *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. This however seems to have created yet another live id. If I log in to skydrive/outlook/etc with this new live id everything is blank and also my SkyDrive limit is not 7 GB :( I cannot seem to find any way at all to somehow link the new *** Email address is removed for privacy *** live id with my Hotmail.com one, ideally everything would just be under my Hotmail.com live id along with the *** Email address is removed for privacy *** email. Any ideas how to accomplish this?
