How do I delete user and separate Outlook.com account?

16. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: microsoft, Microsoft account
Jack, are you there? This is Abby wondering when and how to get rid of original Microsoft email account and user #1 who is associated with it. I have copied everything over to the  new user account. Opened programs in the 'good' Microsoft account and deleted some things. Office 2013 is working. Had some trouble with OneNote but I think it's OK now. 2 notebooks are syncing and stuff that was in Original MS account skydrive have been deleted. Should I delete everything in User 1's account first? Should I close the MS account first? A bit confused....

Unable to delete Hotmail account due to subscriptions – linked to completely separate Microsoft Account?

14. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: microsoft, Microsoft account, subscriptions
I have an old legacy hotmail account which I'd like to delete, however it appears to have links to subscriptions from my primary Microsoft Account somehow connected to it?  (Xbox Live, Office 365)

I'm unsure how this has occurred as my primary Microsoft Account has a completely different email address and has no linkage to my old hotmail account (not an alias, not in the notification settings etc...).  Even more odd is the legacy hotmail account gets cc'd on any purchases made from my primary Microsoft Account??

Regardless, I'm unable to delete my old legacy hotmail account.  If an Admin or someone from Support could message me - I'd like finally get this resolved as so far chats with Xbox Live support, etc... have not been helpful.

Thanks,

T.J.

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/en-us.

You’re currently signed in with an Office 365 email account, which can’t be used with Outlook.com

I originally posted about this issue almost a year ago.  I provided Fiddler traces twice, and was promised escalation to support specialists several times.  I have yet to receive a basic answer to my question

The issue is this:  I've had a Passport / Live Id / Microsoft account for many, many years.  I have all my Microsoft-related context associated with this account, including a Windows Phone, Windows and Windows Phone apps, lots of SkyDrive data, lots of contact and calendar entries, etc.


The main email address for this account is a @cornell.edu email address.  This is an alumni address that basically forwards to another email address.  Right now that's a gmail address, but I was hoping to change that.


Anyway, at one point in time I was suddenly unable to access Outlook.com.  I get the following error:

 

This account can't be used to access Outlook.com

You're currently signed in with an Office 365 email account, which can't be used with Outlook.com. Please click here to sign out of your Office 365 account, then use another Microsoft account to sign in to Outlook.com (for example, your hotmail.com, live.com, or msn.com account).
 
I have no relationship to Office365.  However, I suspect that the cause is that Cornell University is no on Office 365, and for some reason that's made my cornell.edu account unusable with Outlook.com.

I've been asked to talk to Cornell's email administrators, but they have nothing to do with this.  The problem, as far as I can tell, is that Outlook.com isn't smart enough to figure out that my account isn't an Office 365 account, and Office 365 isn't smart enough to bounce me back to Outlook.com.

I'd really appreciate some help with this, and not the kind of help that promises escalation and then never delivers.

Thanks.

Can’t remove or verify my childs age on his Microsoft Account

13. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Microsoft account

I recently set my son up with a Microsoft Account (this is not the local Windows Account) in which I used the wrong date of birth. He now has an account which needs age verification. I went thru that whole process several times only to be charged $.50 each time and have a web page come up as having a "Temporary Problem, come back later". Well $4.00 later and a lot of frustration, I just decided to delete that account and create a new one. Unfortunately, in order to do so, I have to complete the age verification process first (see problem above). I have been thru Microsoft phone support (about 3 hours worth) and no one can seem to come up with an answer. Their best solution was to create a different account name (new Microsoft Account). This is not a suitable solution as my son has cognitive challenges; in this case change does not equal good.

 

I just want to delete the existing account and recreate it - any one have any thoughts?

How to view multiple Microsoft “filter” calendars on my Android mobile phone? Only one calendar appears.

13. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: microsoft, Microsoft account, Microsoft calendar
My Microsoft account (Hotmail) calendar includes a dozen separate "filter" calendars, which I like to use.  (These "filter" calendars were created in Microsoft account under Settings / Options / Add a new calendar.)  I have synced my Android mobile phone calendar, in order to view the dozen Microsoft filter calendars.  However, the Android mobile phone calendar shows only one Microsoft calendar:  "Matthew's calendar" (and not "Original calendar" or any of the dozen "filter" calendars).  Why can I not see the many separate "filter" calendars that I created in my Microsoft account?

reusing a closed account

13. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: microsoft, Microsoft account, SkyDrive
Because of an issue with Skydrive I had to create a new user account on my computer/ a new Microsoft ID.
I was able to fix the problem with Skydrive and deleted the old user account and closed the Microsoft account.

However my new Microsoft account is on a school email address and I would really like to use the email I originally had. But when I try to create a new alias or sign up for a new Microsoft account it says that the email is already in use.

How long do I have to wait to reuse and email or is impossible?
