When I sign into my account I cannot see my inbox.

I get the Microsoft account page containing the Overview, Notifications etc, but cannot see any way to access my emails.
I have an email account that I can currently access.
I had another account that was linked to this account for several years.
Microsoft removed the linked accounts and I have forgotten the password.
I have tried to verify my ownership to this account but the validation email linked to the forgotten account is my ex-girlfriends and we are no longer on speaking terms. I cannot find a way to change this email address.
I have also submitted several forms to validate my ownership, completing the forms with 100% correct information. I know this information is correct, however the automated process does not validate my ownership.
I have now submitted two support tickets via Microsoft Customer Support (@css.one.microsoft.com), but when I get a response and click on the link to view the incident, I get an error: *** Email address is removed for privacy *** cannot view this incident.
I have contacted Microsoft Support and they have told me that I cannot speak to anyone regarding this issue, and that I must resubmit the same form I have already submitted 4 times!
Please advise how I should resolve this issue.
It's so darn confusing on my computer to have two different Outlooks!!!  Doesn't make any sense to me at all!!  What was wrong with "Hotmail" anyway? 
Hi Everyone,

I have an MSN email account which I access via a shortcut on my desktop (last access was January) and when click on it it signs me in, but then I have to update the software, which then puts a MSN Installer shortcut on my desktop. I click on it where it prompts me for my email address/password, but then tells me " The Microsoft account is incorrect. Please try again." So, I did, but no change.

I clicked on the MSN shortcut again, but signed in as a Guest which again sign me in but wanted to update the software. I went through the steps again and again it asked me for my email address/password  - no change

I contacted Microsoft 1800 number and was given a case # 1213022406 and reference # 130804-002204-028

Microsoft Acct

****@msn.com

*****searched on and comes up as a valid email but wont allowed me to reset the password (Entitlement Benefits Dashboard)

Windows Live ID/email says incorrect - no option to reset pasword

 

Any ideas?
I am completely frustrated. I could literally scream. I've repeatedly tried everything to gain access to my old hotmail account. I created the account years ago and used it from time to time for different tasks. A couple years ago I changed the password and never updated my phone number. For 3 months now I have been trying to access it but with no success. I have followed all the proper channels. I must have done the following process - https://account.live.com/ResetPassword.aspx about 30 times by now. I can never get any "real" human support for this. I need access to the account email because I've used the account as my email address when registering for other services. A month ago. I started getting this message and now I get no message at all. 

I NEED HELP  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED A REAL MICROSOFT SUPPORT PERSON TO CONTACT ME !!!!!!!!!!!

Story:

 

I am having problems making my existing Microsoft e-mail account appear on my HTC Sensation 4G. Before this all happened, I've accidently deleted my MSN E-mail account on my phone, thinking that I didn't need it anymore. When I tried creating my existing MSN account on the Email app I get multiple error messages from various mail providers (Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, Windows Live (R) Hotmail (R), POP3/IMAP, etc).

 

Methods:

 

First of all, when I tried creating my MSN account, I tapped on the "New Account" then "Windows Live (R) Hotmail (R)" option. I then tapped on "Manuel setup." In the "Manuel setup" I went into another section called "Incoming settings". I've entered all the necessary fields and made sure every one of them were correct. This includes the "POP server" which is "pop3.live.com". Once I was done I tapped "Next" and waited a moment later, I get this error message "Warning: Authentication failed. Please verify your username/password." Thinking that it was just a server error, I toggled the protocol to APOP and IMAP. But to no avail, I received the same error message. SO I moved on to the "POP3/IMAP" option.

 

Similarly to the "Windows Live (R) Hotmail (R)" option,  I toggled the protocol to APOP and IMAP and even changed the default POP Server. Again I received the same error message "Warning: Authentication failed. Please verify your username/password."

 

Then I tried the "Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync" option. I tapped the "Manuel setup" section which brought into the "Set up Exchange ActiveSync account." Similarly from the past two mail options, I've entered all the necessary information, including the "Domain" which was "smtp.live.com." A moment later and I get a different error message "Failed to connect to Exchange server. Please check Exchange server settings."

 

Conclusion:

 

Now I know that Hotmail was upgraded to Microsoft Outlook. So does that have anything to do with the problems I am encountering with the HTC mail app? Were my input settings correct on all mail providers? What have I done wrong on my inputs and how do I correct them?

 

Thanks,

Ace
