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!
