Now that Microsoft in their "wisdom" has stopped letting me have my 2 email addresses linked (which is a huge pain and unnecessary), I'm thinking of combining the accounts as having the second email address as an Alias.

When I try I get the following error message "This email address is part of a reserved domain such as live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Please enter a different email address.". I have no idea what this means and how can I link them?


(I am also baffled on what the difference between "Mail" and "Outlook.com" are and the Topics aren't helpful either when creating this board, yet it insists on forcing me to pick one, so this could end up in completely the wrong area)
