Why can’t I use a hotmail address when creating/signing up for a Microsoft account

12. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Microsoft account

Hi,

Why can't I use a hotmail.com address when creating/signing up for a Microsoft account?

The system just tells me to use an alias. Why is that?

Using a gmail.com address works fine though...

 

(I am using the hotmail address in Outlook.com without any problems.)

 

I am running Win 8 x64.


Thanks!

Microsoft Account log in problem

12. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Microsoft account, Microsoft Account log

I have just purchased new computer and set up new Microsoft Account.

When I try to log in, it keeps saying account does not exist. I have since set up another account up, which is working ok, but computer keeps prompting log in details for original account. Can any one help please?

Microsoft 365

I keep getting this error message. I dont even know what a microsoft 365 account is and I dont remember signing up for anything...

 

"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 tried clicking the link to sign out of said account, and tried then logging in on hotmail and I still can't sign in.

 

Any suggestions?

“The Microsoft account is incorrect. Please try again.” error when accessing my son’s account

12. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Microsoft account
Hi,

When trying to access my son's outlook.com account I get the "The Microsoft account is incorrect. Please try again." error. I tried resetting the password and got the same message. I tried to sign up for it again as I don't think he has used it in a while and it says the name is taken. If the name was taken, when I try to reset the password, whomever signed up for it, should get the reset request.

Can you please help?

Thanks in advance,

~Scott

Unable to add an alias with and Outlook email address

12. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: error message, Microsoft account, Outlook Email
I am having problems adding existing email address as a Microsoft account alias. 

When i chose Creating new email address and add it as an alias, I get this error message: That email address is already taken. Please try another. 

So I closed the account and tried again to add the email address as an alias, and all I get is another 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.

How can I get this email address added as an alias? If I close it, I will need  to wait 365 days  for it to become available again so that I can add it with the first option: "Create a new email address and add it as an alias"

Second option: "Add an existing email address as a Microsoft account alias" would be the best way to go...
