Windows Live Mail FAQ
I have a Hotmail email account and this was successfully changed to outlook a while ago. I have just purchased a new laptop with windows 8 and when I try to access my emails I can get into the outlook account but non of my current emails or folders are there its like a brand new email account with the usual welcome to outlook messages. How do I sync my existing emails and folders onto this laptop and account???
I periodically sign onto two older hotmail accounts I have as they have saved emails that are important. I last signed into both of them on 9/1/13. Today (10/26/13) I tried to sign into both of them and was successful with one, but the other gives me an error message that says "this account doesn't exist". I am religious about signing in as I realize if you don't that a dormant account may be deleted.
Can someone help me find out why this is happening to only this one account?
Thank you!!
Hi
I opened a new hotmail email account last night at about 7.40pm. I had confirmation from yourselves that all was fine, so started to change my email address with sites that it was linked to. I then was notified by ebay that this email address already existed and received an email from them in a foreign language. I also started to receive a number of foreign friend requests on Facebook. I understand that you don't duplicate email addresses, but there definitely seems to be another Samantha Hughes out there with the same email address. After looking at some of your discussions/questions, I can see that this has also happened to others in the past. I have since changed my email back as I don't want this other person to be receiving personal details of mine. I spoke to one of your live chat agents last night (Paige), who suggested I contacted you to advice me on the best action to take. I am now receiving emails from another language so would ideally just like to delete this account, in case the other person receives personal details of me. If you could advice, that would be great. Many thanks.
Hi,
All advice appreciated.
Microsoft have suspended the use of my original Hotmail email account as they suggested that it has been hacked and advised me to open a new account which I have done. They also advised that it would be possible to import my contacts from the original account to the new one but I cannot find how to do this, can anyone assist with how to do this?
Thanks, Tim.
