Windows Live Mail FAQ

Outlook.com issue

11. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: microsoft, Microsoft account, valid email

Every once in a while I receive email that seems to belong to someone else. Yesterday I received the following email from Microsoft. This appears to be a valid email. However, my email address is "*** Email address is removed for privacy *** NOT *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. Can someone tell me if this is a valid email from Microsoft? If it is, then there appears to be something screwed up in the management of the two aliases. Any help on how to fix this would be great.

 

Did you request a password reset for your Microsoft account (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***)?

If you requested this password reset, go here:

If you didn't make this request, use this link to cancel it:

Unable to sign in with custom domain addresses

11. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: custom domain, microsoft, Microsoft account
Hello,

I'm having issues signing in to any Microsoft services: I set up a custom domain to administer with Outlook.com and I can't sign in to any of the accounts created (I get a "The email address or password is incorrect. Please try again." error).

I tried resetting the password but on that I also get an error that reads "The Microsoft account is incorrect. Please try again."


It seems to me that when I added those accounts they didn't register correctly as Microsoft accounts. How can I solve this?


Thank you.

Windows Phone and Outlook RT – Microsoft Account – unable to sign in

11. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Microsoft account, Windows Phone, Windows Phone device

I think I may have reached a device limit regarding Microsoft Accounts?   I have a large selection of Windows Phone Devices, and recently I tried a new Windows Phone device to link to my Microsoft Account, and each time I try, I keep getting a error message:


'Incorrect email or password"


I am 100% certain both are correct.


I am also unable to add the account to my Surface's Outlook RT running 8.1 Preview.  I get the same error. 


If it is a device number limit, how can I remove the devices I am no longer using?


Regards

a changed webmail password has not been updated on my microsoft live hotmail account,

11. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: default account, error message, Microsoft account

 For security reasons I changed a webmail password, this was the password to my default primary main etc e mail in my microsoft account and live mail and hotmail.

But then I noticed I stopped receiving mail on the live hotmail ( under the control of the microsoft account). I could receive e amils from the account through live mail on the desktop but this is no use to me as a working platform as I am abroad and cannot send from this (although  if there is a way I could I would like to know it)

 

  I  tried a number of times to update the e mail account password including messing around with alias e mail addresses but nothing worked, and I found no way to get the live hotmail to receive e mail from this account. 

 

The other accounts linked to live mail were working.

 

Error message on the account says it cannot receive e mail, previously it said there were sign in and password problems . For the last 24 hours or so it says "We couldn't get your messages: Please wait for a moment The problem should be fixed soon."   but still with the error message in red at the account list.  

I fhave found no access to correct these problems, password correction attempts take me back to the microsoft password eventually, and other attempts to change password in the e mail accounts section would not save.

 

In desperation I tried uploading to the cloud to seee it this would kick it back into some sort of connection/password  verification update and it did re connect the primary / default  e mail account but when I connectd the other accounts to the cloud the acceptance/congratualtory e mails all came through to the default account even though I had elected to "add another e mail account" and actually chosen the different one by name.

Now the error message are still on the default account though it seems to be receiving mail but the mail has stopped on another of the linked accounts and I have received nothing in the hotmail since I "joined " the cloud . live hotmail has not registered this and reports that all is working fine on t his acount though still as I said above with error measssages on the one which is now receiving e mail.

 

Also I have new folders which are called "uploaded messages" I have no idea what to do with these or why they have appeared.

 

I opened a support query and added to it a few times yesterday, it said they would reply in 24 hours but they didn't. ...  and today it has shut me out. It was at:

 

https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?tp=il&tenant=WOL&sd=winlive&incno=1213588020

 

 so I am back at square one. I would uninstall the whole thing and reinstall if this is the way to get it working. Can I do this and not loose all my e mails? Can anyone help me here?

I need to recover my Bing maps from a deleted account

11. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Bing Maps, custom domain, Microsoft account

I had my account accidentally deleted after a migration to Office 365 using a custom domain. BUT I had tons of Bing maps ("My Places") stored on my Microsoft account's profile. Is there any way to get them back? I have recreated the old account, but of course it is all blank.

 

I'd actually like to restore those maps to a different account if possible (a live.com) account so that the Office 365 custom domain won't be confusing.

 

Please let me know if you can help.

Microsoft has blocked my microsoft account sign in what can I do? I am very confused and apparently slow witted. What can I do?

( on Windows 8, of course. Never had trouble with Vista, like I am having with Win 8) Microsoft has blocked my account.  What can I do?  What is a local account and what is a Microsoft account?  What can I do?  Please write as if writing for a dull witted child, I may understand.

Uprading/Transferring my 25GB allowance from old gmail address to new microsoft account with personal email address

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

Hi there

I am in the process of moving all of my pcs and tablets and phones to windows 8 moving away from Android Mac etc.  I have an existing Sky drive account that I have had for years with the 25 GB free loyalty upgrade attached to it. I have now created my own domain name with my own email address names and have created a new Microsoft Account as part of the move.  I have been trying to move my free 25GB allowance to my new 7 GB account but it appears impossible. I have  read on a the Microsoft site somewhere that as it is not possible to rename the main email address on a Microsoft account in order to keep using the 25 GB allowance unless it is renamed to a Outlook or Hotmail address. As such I have had to create a new Microsoft account with my new email address and now only have access to 7GB.  I read also though if a new Microsoft account is created due to the need of changing email address etc, then as long as Microsoft can verify that the old address was eligible for the 25 GB and the new account is owned by the same person and the change is recent  then they have the ability to upgrade the NEW account to the 25GB for free.  I would like to investigate this further.  My old Microsoft account email address is *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. I have transferred all of the files to the new Sky drive account on *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and I am happy for the old Sky drive account to be deleted once my new Sky drive/Microsoft account is upgraded.   Please advise as soon as you can. Thanks very much and kind regards.

This Account Is No Longer Usable

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

I have seen a few of these posts here and I have called Microsoft support services and they told me I should make my own post for help.

 

My father wanted to surprise me with a new computer and tried to set up a Microsoft account using my primary email address. I received a notification to verify the account on my phone and seeing as I was not aware of my fathers intentions, I thought someone else had access to my email information and I chose to cancel the verification request. Now that I know it was a mistake, I was hoping I could recover this email address as it is my primary email account and I would love to link my messages and emails onto my new computer. Any help I can get from a moderator would be greatly appreciated and I will check my personal messages regularly.

 

Thank you,

Ryan 

Remove Live Association

10. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Live Association, microsoft, Microsoft account
Hello, I am trying to close my account but when I click "Close Account"  it reads: "You need to cancel any paid services or Microsoft Points account associated with your Microsoft account." I spoke to a live agent and they said I need to post here and ask for my Live Association to be removed then I can close my account.

My Hotmail Account has been deleted through Windows 8

10. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: inactive account, Microsoft account, My Hotmail Account, Windows 8

Hi Microsoft Team,

 

My Hotmail account has been deleted some how as a result of trying to create a user on my new computer with Windows 8. I'm having to email you off my mums email as when trying to log on mine it states "That Microsoft account doesn't exist. Enter a different email address or get a new account."

 

My account hasn't been deleted as a result of an inactive account as I sent and received an email just yesterday.

 

My Windows 8 User Account has been playing up and has therefore switched to a Local Account.

 

Please can you advise me on how I get my Hotmail account back as I have a lot of emails on that account that are needed. When trying to email my account all messages are undeliverable.

 

The account that has been deleted is *** Email address is removed for privacy ***.

 

You can reply back to my mums account as she will notify me.

 

Many Thanks,

Melanie
