hotmail email asking for security verification

01. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Account Security Team, email account, Hotmail email

Here is a copied/pasted email that I received today.  I am not comfortable with the context of this as I feel it is a phishing scam.  I sent a reply to both of the email addy's listed.  One of them was returned to my inbox undeliverable.  So far I have not received a return answer from the "topaz" person.

 

HERE IS THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE FROM MY INBOX:

Lost “spell check” on windows 8

31. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Hotmail email, wireless account

I was using my new computer(windows 8) in my friend's home to send hotmail email using his wireless account, after that when I came home and used my wireless account to send hotmail email, the website always shows my friend's name on it and the "spell check" function was lost. 

For example, my email address is *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, my friend's email is bluin184, now when I sign in my outlook ,the web page shows as follows:

https://bluin184.mail.live.com/default.aspx#!/mail/InboxLight.aspx?n=1393247024&view=1!n=1187723281&view=1 Although I can send and receive email,

But I need to use "spell check".Please help.

My hotmail has been spoofed – how do I stop it?

31. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: address book, Hotmail email
My hotmail email address has been "spoofed". Meaning - someone is sending emails with my email address as the sender but they are not actually being sent from my account. Contacts who are no longer in my address book receive are receiving them in addition to current contacts. How do I stop this? My IT guy said there is a way but how??!! I know in the past when my email has been hacked that it shows the messages in my deleted or sent folder and that is not the case now. Please help!!

Hotmail not getting instagram emails

29. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: hotmail, Hotmail email, instagram
My Hotmail email is not receiving my instagram password reset emails. I have verified that I have the correct email address and that instagram is not a blocked sender/being noticed as spam. Instagram doesn't appear to have any contact information and I am in dire need to have access to my IG account; therefore needing to receive the password reset emails. Any suggestions/ways to resolve this matter? Thank you!

Problems with my individual Hotmail account programing -It changes font style, size, and color

28. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: hotmail, Hotmail email, hotmail emails
Hello,
My name is Tom. My Hotmail account is *** Email address is removed for privacy ***.
I have a problem that goes back over 7 years. The font changes in my Hotmail emails, and friends complain the problem is distracting and makes my emails very difficult to read. The font changes size, color, (black to gray) and font styles, (from Arial, to Times Roman, and others as well.)
It happens in all browsers but seems to be less pronounced in Internet Explorer. With Mozilla and Google, browsers that I prefer, (sorry Microsoft) the problems crop up more often, but to be clear all browsers are affected. Longer emails with more editing are far more plagued by these changes in type.
These emails usually employed spell checks, cut and paste, and rewrites.
Though I've tried many times, the font problem can't be fixed by the usual Hotmail email account settings.
This has been going on over many years, with every computer - (more than 4) - and every operating system, from XP, to Vista, to Windows 8

I have tried this Microsoft post to the Forums route before. It was years ago. They asked me to download a special program that monitored my account and save information for them. I did that and I sent the results back in from time to time, as requested. This went on for months, but they either, were not able to find a solution, or they were unable to fix it, or they simply forgot about the problem and never got back to me. When I wrote in, the moderators were always well meaning and seemed surprised that nothing was happening. They tried to find answers about what was happening but to no avail. So, after many tries I gave up. 

At the time, moderators suggested I simply get another Hotmail account, but my account uses my name without any numbers, underscores, or other distractions.I've used this Hotmail account since there was a Hotmail. It has been the primary way people contact me. I've used it for business as well as personal emails.

I'm certain the problems have come about because of a glitch in my individual account's programming.

I asked back then, and I ask you now, could the technical people that oversee Hotmail simply re-install the programming that operates my account and resolve this problem... or ...perhaps transfer my present address (my name) to a new working account?

My friends find it very distracting and complain about it.  It's a problem for me because I have no control over this glitch and my Hotmail emails go out looking badly. They have to be decoded to be taken seriously.


Please create a private message area for me where I can speak to a clever tech a who can resolve this issue.

Thanks for your help, time and attention.  

Tom

Profile Picture associated with Hotmail email

28. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Hotmail Account, Hotmail email
Hello all,

I've signed up to a forum using my hotmail email address and for some reason my forum profile picture comes up automatically as an image I uploaded somewhere on my hotmail account before. I can't remember how to change this image. To be clear, it is not the same image you see on the top right when you sign in to your hotmail emails. 

Does anyone know what I'm talking about and can anyone tell me where I can change that image?

Thanks for reading!

all my emails missing. saved. unread. opened. everything is gone.

i did not use my hotmail email that much because i gave it out to much. like when i go shopping and they ask me for my email. i would give them my hotmail email instead of the one i use for family and friends. the hotmail account is also the one i use to log into everything. like facebook. twitter. instagram. pinterest. all of the sites i shop on use my hotmail account. so when i forget a password i go to my hotmail account to get them. for all of these sites. which means that i dont check it as nearly as much as i check my gmail account. i recently forgot my password for my twitter account and they sent me a email to reset it. so i try to go to my hotmail.com account and i find absolutely nothing. somehow im logged into my gmail account? i DO NOT want these accounts linked in anyway. i DO NOT wish to start a new email account to recieve all my "junk". i DO NOT wish to go into ALL of my accounts i have set up online to change every single one of them. How can i get into my hotmail account? i did try logging out and logging back into my hotmail account to check my emails. but it takes me to something where i dont have any emails its just all of my personal information. even in this question. it is going to send me a reply to my hotmail account. but apparantly i dont have a hotmail account? all i want is my hotmail account. but i dont want my hotmail and gmail account connected in anyway shape or form. THANKS!
