BUG: I like Outlook.com's feature of posting to a friend's FB wall without logging on to FB. However I see a bug in the implementation. If the user has opted not to have other's WRITE on their wall it always throws the error message 'An error occured'.
What I expect? Actually it is Outlook.com's responsibility to hide the textbox 'Post to Wall' or at least make it grayed out with a tool tip that 'The user has not opted to be messaged through their wall'.
Technical Solution:
Outlook.com should check the can_post value in the FQL before the profile page is rendered. FQL reference is below: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/user/

I've had a hotmail email account for 8+ years, that I've always used as a secondary account. There are valuable emails, pictures, contacts, files etc that I want to continue to have access to. Now that microsoft has switched to Outlook, I can't sign
in at all, using the same email I have always had, because it says it does not exist. I would like to regain access to my old account. I had to create a new, temporary account to try and resolve this issue. It would be great if someone could help me since
the people I spoke to in live chat were not helpful at all. Everything I've tried has just sent me in one big circle. I just want my old account back and everything in it.

Story:
I am having problems making my existing Microsoft e-mail account appear on my HTC Sensation 4G. Before this all happened, I've accidently deleted my MSN E-mail account on my phone, thinking that I didn't need it anymore. When I tried creating my existing MSN account on the Email app I get multiple error messages from various mail providers (Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, Windows Live (R) Hotmail (R), POP3/IMAP, etc).
Methods:
First of all, when I tried creating my MSN account, I tapped on the "New Account" then "Windows Live (R) Hotmail (R)" option. I then tapped on "Manuel setup." In the "Manuel setup" I went into another section called "Incoming settings". I've entered all the necessary fields and made sure every one of them were correct. This includes the "POP server" which is "pop3.live.com". Once I was done I tapped "Next" and waited a moment later, I get this error message "Warning: Authentication failed. Please verify your username/password." Thinking that it was just a server error, I toggled the protocol to APOP and IMAP. But to no avail, I received the same error message. SO I moved on to the "POP3/IMAP" option.
Similarly to the "Windows Live (R) Hotmail (R)" option, I toggled the protocol to APOP and IMAP and even changed the default POP Server. Again I received the same error message "Warning: Authentication failed. Please verify your username/password."
Then I tried the "Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync" option. I tapped the "Manuel setup" section which brought into the "Set up Exchange ActiveSync account." Similarly from the past two mail options, I've entered all the necessary information, including the "Domain" which was "smtp.live.com." A moment later and I get a different error message "Failed to connect to Exchange server. Please check Exchange server settings."
Conclusion:
Now I know that Hotmail was upgraded to Microsoft Outlook. So does that have anything to do with the problems I am encountering with the HTC mail app? Were my input settings correct on all mail providers? What have I done wrong on my inputs and how do I correct them?
Thanks,
Ace

Hi I closed my SkyDrive account in error and now when I try to log in I get an error message "That Microsoft account doesn't exist."
However, Gwen in the Online Safety Team does not believe the account has been closed and the content is still available.
Please can you reactivate?

| Hello, We have received a recent request to reactivate your account, however, when we checked we noticed that your account does not appear to be closed. We have also reexamined the content and have determined that the files are not in violation of the Microsoft COC or TOU. If you are still unable to access the account there may be a technical issue with it. You can contact the technical support team at http://answers.microsoft.com/ Sincerely, Gwen Online Safety Team |

I need help with this, I have cleared my browsing history and cache, and have attempted to login in via three different browsers (safari, chrome and firefox) and my cellphone (iphone 5) yet I have still not been able to access my account. This email account
is very important to me, I have had it for nearly six years, I need to be able to access it. I have been unable to access it through live mail or outlook itself.

Hi,
My grandmother has been blocked from her hotmail account, so she is using my account to try to get help restoring her account. This problem began when Hotmail switched to Outlook. She DEFINITELY typed in her password correctly because she has it written
down, but she got an error message saying that her account has been blocked because the wrong password has been entered too many times (even though she correctly entered her password only once). She tried to reset her password after that using the security
question. She gave the correct answer, because she had also written it down. Yet another error message said that she had entered the incorrect answer too many times.
So then she was directed to fill out a form ("questionnaire") that requires her BILLING INFORMATION, and she does not use XBOX Live, and it is INSANE to require personal billing information to a company you cannot even trust to keep your e-mail safe!
So either (1) her account has been hacked (and the hacker changed her password and security answer), or (2) Microsoft/Outlook messed something up when it switched over, because that is exactly when this problem started.
She needs help getting back into her account. She can provide all the details of Contacts, past e-mails, the real security question/answer she has had for years—everything—but no way is she providing billing information. Now, can you help her get her account
back, or not? If not, she'll be signing up for Gmail instead and lose all of her e-mail for the past many years, due to this problem.
Thank you.

Help! When ever I try and sync my hotmail account to the Windows Live Mail program on my computer, I get an error message. I am copy and paste the error message below:
Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail (lamb1319) account. To send and receive messages in your Hotmail account, go to http://hotmail.live.com on the Web, or try again later.

Server Error: 404
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x80194194
It was working fine one day and then the next day, it would not sync. I know that it must be the program because I can receive the emails on my phone and I can also go to the website and retrieve them. Anyone know how to fix it?

WLM was working well but stopped working; so I closed it down and tried to restart it. I received the 0x800C0155 error message.
Rebooted the machine thinking that the process was stuck because 2 were running - same result
Disabled AV and tried to start WLM - same result
Did sfc /scannow - found no error and same result
Suggestions?
Thx

When I startup OUTLOOK I get the "Page Cannot be Displayed" error msg. It gives this msg because the web address it is looking for is
SN128W.SNT128.mail.live.com and that doesn't exist. All it needs is mail.live.com which does exist. How do I correct the WEB Address?
