A contact of mine keeps getting linked with another Facebook contact. I don't have them linked, but I continually see the Facebook picture when referencing the Microsoft account contact. It almost seems that Microsoft incorrectly got the idea that they are the same person and now is forcing that on users of Outlook.com who have that contact.
Can anything be done about this?
A few years ago, my ATT/Yahoo email account was the one associated with my Microsoft account. Back then it was called Hotmail.com and not Outlook.com. All of the emails sent to me at *** Email address is removed for privacy *** were taken from the server, while leaving a copy there, and delivered to my Hotmail account. I could always count on their being there in case I deleted one from my ATT/Yahoo account accidentally. My Calendars and Contacts were in sync. I connected to my Hotmail account with the Outlook 2003 program and could get the email right on my computer.
Everything was working great until April of 2012 when I changed the password to my ATT/Yahoo account. My Hotmail account could no longer access my ATT/Yahoo email. I put a bandaid on the situation by just ADDING my ATT/Yahoo account to my Microsoft Hotmail account. A week ago (7/30/13), that bandaid fell off for some reason and Outlook.com could no longer connect to the ATT/Yahoo server like it used to to collect my email. Not surprisingly, Outlook 2003 gets no new emails when it connects to my Outlook.com account.
So it is pretty clear what I need to do. I need to re-establish that original connection between my ATT/Yahoo account and my Microsoft/Outlook.com account. The thing is I don't know how to do it. Can someone PLEASE help me?
I have just updated a secondary email address as per the request and now when I try to log in it tells me there is a 30 day waiting period.. nothing about 'access to account within 24 hrs.
What is the deal pls?

Yesterday morning I checked e-mails using my tablet. Not receiving the e-mail I was looking for I rechecked approximately 4 hours later and received the following message, “This Microsoft account doesn't exist. Enter a different e-mail address or get a new account”. At first I thought this was due to misspelled address or password but after several tries the same message is received. Fortunately the e-mail address works on my PC and I can check e-mails there.
Its been suggested that I be proactive and sent up another e-mail account such as g-mail, for if and when this happens on my PC. That leaves two questions,
1: can my current hotmail account be set up to forward received e-mails to a g-mail account much like automatic call forwarding?
2: can the hotmail contact list be cut and pasted into a g-mail account?
